Discover Nigüelas: Nature, Culture and Holiday Apartments

In Nigüelas, geological features, historic buildings and viewpoints come together. Particularly striking is the Falla de Nigüelas natural monument: the geological protected site is located in Nigüelas and incorporated into the Sierra Nevada Natural Park as well as the Sierra Nevada ZEC and ZEPA. At the fault, the fault plane, its inclination and the extent of the displacement are clearly visible; information panels are part of the natural monument's facilities.

The Mirador de Rasuela offers excellent views of the Valle de Lecrín, the Sierra Nevada and the deep gorge of the Río Torrente. The different natural and panoramic impressions can be considered separately or compared with one another when planning your own trip.

Culture

The town's history includes the Almazara de Las Laerillas, a former olive mill that can be visited. The Almazara Las Erillas dates from the 15th century and is well preserved. The Mudéjar church of San Juan Bautista houses magnificent sculptures of Granada's religious art. The parish church of Nigüelas dates from the 16th century.

Another architectural detail is shown by the Casa de los Zayas, with its Renaissance portal and gardens in the style of French Romanticism. Alongside the Palacio de los Zayas, the Jardín de los Muller combines an orchard and a garden. Sacred art, historic architectural forms and designed outdoor spaces thus represent different cultural facets.
