Las Cunas: Coastal Route, Hilly Landscape, Golf and Fiesta

Las Cunas is a quiet settlement surrounded by the characteristic hilly landscape of the Levante Almeriense. The municipal coastal route through the pedanías of Cuevas del Almanzora includes Las Cunas.

Las Cunas can be viewed both as a settlement in its own right and as part of municipal routes. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Las Cunas, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies together on the accommodation pages. You can focus the comparison on these three details and then read the location information separately by landscape, routes, golf and culture.

Landscape

The coastal route through the pedanías of Cuevas del Almanzora, including Las Cunas, offers beaches, coastal landscapes and historic sites; at the same time, it connects them with culture, nature, history and the sea.

The coast, the sea, nature and history each provide different thematic focuses. For your planning, you can consider these focal points alongside the hilly landscape without setting a fixed order for the days.

Routes

The tourist route “Itinerario III” through the surrounding area of Cuevas del Almanzora passes through Las Cunas and is recommended for travel by vehicle.

The hiking route with the Ermita de las Cunas is 19.5 km long, technically moderately difficult and follows a one-way route.

The different route formats help you consider the means of transport and scope of an outing separately. The landscape route, vehicle journey and hiking route thus form clearly distinguishable planning frameworks.

To choose the right outing framework, you can read the different details directly side by side: One journey follows a tourist itinerary, while another outing is described as a 19.5-kilometre hike along a one-way route. The technical difficulty of the hike stands on its own, just like the vehicle recommendation for the route. Landscape, golf and culture mark further subject areas. This makes it possible to structure your stay in Las Cunas according to type of movement and interest. The order remains open, so the individual topics can be considered separately.

Golf

The Desert Springs Golf Club is located on the Las Cunas–Palomares road in Las Cunas, Cuevas del Almanzora. It is Europe's first golf course in the Arizona desert style.

Restaurante Sierra Club is located in the Urbanización Desert Springs on the Palomares–Villaricos road in Las Cunas.

The specific names of the two establishments make it easier to distinguish the facilities and routes objectively.

You can open other places in the regional overview using these names: Zurgena, Fondón, Sorbas, Mojácar, Viator, Las Norias, Vera, Caserío Santopétar
