Los Bermejales: A Serene Local Lake

Los Bermejales is a lake formed in the 1940s by damming a local river. It's a perfect getaway on warmer days for a picnic on the shore.

Enjoy the Outdoors

Los Bermejales is a haven for nature lovers in bird migration times. The lake is teeming with fish, making it a great spot for fishing or simply observing the aquatic life. If you're looking for a more active day, there are some amazing walks down through the gorge although one or two of them have very technical features (a vertical steel ladder) if you go a long way

Relax and Refresh

After a day of swimming or exploring, enjoy a pizza from the campsite restaurant. The peaceful atmosphere and tranquil surroundings make it a place worth visiting.

A Rich History

Las Chorreras, Verde River (Granada)

In the Verde River, going down the steep slope of Los Chortales, we will soon find a very quaint place known as “Las Chorreras”, where a waterfall of about 25 meters high falls into a large pothole or panhole where the water becomes gentler. Here you will be able to take a good bath surrounded by walls of limestone rock. From the right of the waterfall you can access to a small hole that has been left between the wall and travertines, inside which are karst formations, stalactites and stalagmites. As for the fauna, of the bird community we should mention species such as the partridge, the kestrel, the finch and the dartford warbler. Among the mammals, the fox.
