Discover Lubrín: Squares, Churches and Trails

Lubrín invites you to explore the character of a place from different perspectives. Visitors who enjoy combining culture and activity can therefore experience a destination in several ways. This very combination leaves room to choose your own focus without following a set order.

Culture

Plaza del Porche leads to the town centre. In Calle Sotomayor, houses with balconies and floral decorations stand side by side, typical of the province’s vernacular architecture. Plaza de Abajo is Lubrín’s central square and can be reached via the so-called Escalericas de Marta.

The former Teatro Sotomayor was later used as a cheese dairy. The old washhouse was supplied by the lower spring and was of great importance before the houses had running water.

The Iglesia Ntra. Sra. del Rosario dates from the 19th century, around 1880. It features eclectic architecture, a Latin-cross floor plan and three naves. It was also among the early churches to use a material that had previously been used mainly for industrial facilities and structures.

Nature

Lubrín is a rural municipality in the Levante Almeriense, surrounded by mountain landscapes and traditional paths that invite visitors to explore the area. Lubrín is also part of the Sierra de Cabrera-Bédar Special Protection Area within the Natura 2000 network.

When planning your visit, you can consider local culture, the landscape and the trails as separate focuses without having to combine them into a single excursion programme.

Routes

The Oficina de Turismo in Lubrín offers various routes that provide an opportunity to discover the municipality’s rural agriculture, goat farming and olive oil culture.

The Sendero de Las Fuentes de Lubrín is a 7.9-kilometre circular hiking trail with a 2.3-kilometre branch. The route passes between Fuente Arriba and Fuente Abajo, by former water mills, the Pozo de las Cabras washhouse and Lubrín’s recreation area.

The combination of the circular route and the branch makes it possible to compare two distances; the named stops also show which water-related and everyday places lie along the route. The choice of themes can likewise remain open: culture, nature and hiking offer different perspectives rather than a set order.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Lubrín, compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer pages. This information provides a practical framework for planning, while you can independently compare the town’s main attractions in terms of culture, landscape and trails. This leaves you free to determine the preferred combination of a visit to the town and a route yourself.

Other places in the same travel region include Fuente Amarga, Costacabana, Bayárcal, Los Cerricos, Tabernas, Alcontar, Sorbas and Garrucha.
