• Historical route through Oria, with its magnificent Basilica and the Virgin of the Mercedes and Arab Fortress.
• Historical route through Olula del Río, with its singularity as its Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, being entirely built with marble.
• Historical route through Purchena, with its impressive Church of San Ginés (16th century) and the remains of its Alcazaba.
• Historical route through Serón, with its Church of the Annunciation, its defensive fortress from the 13th century and the mining town of Las Menas, with an atypical architecture in the area.
• Historical route through small towns, but with a lot of charm: Lúcar, Somontín, Úrracal, Sierro, Laroya, Cóbdar, Chercos, etc …

Discovering the Artisans of Almanzora. This route allows to know part of the craftsmanship of the Valley of the Almanzora that a few years ago was declared as an Area of ​​Artisan Interest. We will start with a guided visit to the Pedro Gilabert Museum in Arboleas, where we will be surprised with the works of this self-taught artist who knew how to give life to the olive tree. Then we will go to Albox to visit the traditional Los Puntas pottery, which is more than 300 years old and where we will have a demonstration. Next, in Macael, we will visit the Marble Interpretation Center and a marble craft workshop, checking the magnificent pieces that can be made with this material.
