Description

This is a really stunning place in the heart of Andalusia.After Baza and the huge Negratín reservoir you then ride a strange semi-desert lunar landscape with unique light, known as the “badlands”. Here you will find a plethora of sandy riverbeds (mainly dry apart from during the heavy rains) that form a labyrinth, home to aromatic plants. Beyond this you come to an immense high plateau, dotted with large holm-oaks trees and fields of cereals. Here you begin to come across megalithic dolmens, the silent witnesses to the beliefs and customs of our prehistoric ancestors -this was one of the first parts of Europe to be settled by man- and you soon arrive in the village of Gorafe.
