Full description
If you are looking for an expedition that has it all, from 1, 000-metre peaks to the taste of the best local gastronomy, this is the place for you.
Travel for 2 hours in a 4x4 vehicle through the most impressive corners of Sierra Cabrera, crossing volcanic landscapes, old gold mines and virgin coves. A guided experience that combines the contrasts of the mountains and the sea with the essence of Almeria .
What we will do
We will meet 15 minutes before the agreed time at the Port of Carboneras, Almeria. There we will be met by our guide, who will put us in explorer mode while he tells us what awaits us and clears up any doubts before starting this adventure through the most untamed corner of the peninsula.
We will start our 4x4 adventure by entering the Sierra Cabrera, the youngest volcanic formation on the peninsula. We will cross wadis and dry rivers, surrounded by slate mountains of extraordinary colours, until we reach points with 360º panoramic views at an altitude of almost 1, 000 metres. Along the way, we will discover the remains of an old gold mine and a natural spring that supplied an old water mill.
We will descend along the Granatilla watercourse towards the sea, passing through Sopalmo, a charming neighbourhood of Mojácar with its small chapel and natural springs. Along the way, we will be attentive to the local fauna, where it is easy to observe mountain goats, partridges or the protected black-headed turtle among the vegetation of esparto grass and wild olive trees.
We will arrive at the Sopalmo beach, a peaceful spot where we can enjoy a swim in its crystal clear waters. On the way back to Carboneras, we will border the coast to contemplate the beauty of the Lance beach and the famous Algarrobico beach, stopping at strategic viewpoints to capture the essence of this coastal paradise.
The route will end back at the starting point after enjoying a tasting of local gastronomy and a refreshing drink. In total, it will be about 2 hours of pure exploration and unforgettable contrasts between the steepest mountain and the Mediterranean Sea.
