This allows active, landscape-related and cultural topics to be considered side by side, without linking them into a uniform sequence of visits or a fixed programme.

Culture and History

The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario was built in the 16th century and combines Gothic and Renaissance styles. Inside are valuable works of sacred art, including altarpieces and paintings. Only a few structural remains of the Castillo de Armuña de Almanzora have survived; access is via Calle del Castillo on a hill next to the water tank.
