History of Arboleas The river that crosses it is a historical path, through which many of the peoples who come to the Peninsula accede. For the archaeological remains, the settlements of population go back to the Neolithic and Bronze ages. From here, we find argáricos, Phoenician, Carthaginian and Roman remains. But it would be the Muslim stage that would leave the greatest vestiges, which have survived to this day in the form of popular architecture, gastronomy, habits, customs and uses. From the Muslim period, we highlight the writer Abu Ben Abdalacis Al-Arbulí, a native of Arboleas, of whom there is an interesting “Food Treaty” about food in Al-Andalus. The conquest of the Valley of the Almanzora by the Catholic Monarchs in the year 1488 takes place, being given in señorío, along with Albox, Albanchez, and Benitagla, to the Duke of Nájera and happening later to the First Marquess of the Vélez. During the rebellion of the Moriscos some battles were fought in the municipal area. After the war and decreed the expulsion of the Moors from the Kingdom of Granada, Arboleas is repopulated with 30 old Christians arrived from other peninsular kingdoms. The assets of the 70 Moors expelled are […]

The Saavedra Theater was built in 1926, at the expense of Vicente Giménez Saavedra, according to a commemorative plaque on one of the side doors. It is located on the corner with two streets: Romero and Ermita, which connect with the center of the Villa de Cantoria; streets that, on the other hand, are fully built, which has prevented its expansion in the restoration recently carried out at the initiative of the City Council. The Saavedra Theater has a rectangular floor plan, with a gable roof and a flat tile roof. The fact that it is on the corner results in a main facade and a side facade. The main façade is smaller than the lateral façade, and there are three doors on one level and three windows on the second. On a third level there is a small circular span. All the openings have molding around in white, which makes them stand out on the wall painted in a pinkish tone. The wall of this façade is extended by ending in a higher central body, where it is situated in a circular vain, and is topped by a small cornice. The lateral façade has three small windows in the […]

Nazarí era dates from the thirteenth century. It played an important role in the Muslim era due to its defensive nature and served as a refuge in the uprising of the Moors. The situation of this castle is majestic and its proportions are generous, especially in its base, as these are reduced as it ascends, being in the upper part a small esplanade, where a neo-style tower was built at the beginning of the 20th century -Mudéjar that houses the mechanism of a clock. The tower is square, raised on a masonry plinth. The bust is made of stone and the brick is used to frame the holes and reinforce the corners. The tower is divided into two floors with two-part windows in each of its fronts, these present in the auction a semicircular arch made of brick. Of the original fortress there is only one wall and some wall paintings scattered throughout the construction. Its plant is rectangular, formed by trapezoidal cubes with wide bases where towers are built, built with masonry joined with mortar, using brick for corners, doors and windows. In them it is possible to distinguish with precision the ancient walls and those that later have […]

Calar Alto is a plateau located in the Sierra de los Filabres (Bacares-Gergal) that reaches up to 2,168 m in height. The Hispanic Astronomical Observatory in Andalusia (CAHA) is located there. Until 2018, it was the Hispano-German Astronomical Center. It was founded in 1973 after an agreement between the German and Spanish governments. In 2005 an agreement was signed whereby the observatory was jointly operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC in Granada and the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie in Heidelberg (Germany) in a proportion of 50% each. Since 2019, with the departure of the German partner and the entry of the Andalusian Government into the Economic Interest Group CAHA, AIE, the observatory has become 100% Spanish (50% Higher Council for Scientific Research, 50% Junta de Andalucía) . In the whole of Calar Alto there are 5 large domes, of which 4 are in the municipality of Bacares and the largest dome is in the municipality of Gergal, in addition to the buildings of the offices of the Observatory technicians.

Neoclassical construction of the 19th century, with a rectangular floor plan and a single nave. It has a very sober exterior and an interior that stands out for its simplicity and beauty. Located next to the square that bears his name, its ornamentation is articulated by means of a succession of pilasters of Ionic order joined by blind arches of half a point and supporting entablatures, on which the barrel vault is flung with lunettes finished in oculi. After the main arch opens the main chapel, where is the image of the patron, the “Virgen de los Remedios”, which is covered with a dome beautifully decorated with the pigeon of the Holy Spirit and angels, painted by the artist from Almeria Miralles.

The sacred architecture of Albojense is dominated by notable examples such as the Hermitage of San Antonio, which is located in the neighborhood of the same name (Barrio de San Antonio or Barrio Alto de Albox) and its construction on the site of a supposed and ancient Arab mosque (-and conserving in its interior some symbolic paintings of popular type-).

The idea of ​​the project to increase the presence of existing ruins, using only a few elements and clean the place (hide undesirable elements), is a way to clarify the meaning of the landscape. The project does not try to recreate old walls, but tries to recover the memory and meaning of these places. So, we created a small route to guide visitors and show them the hidden remains and meanings of the place. The main idea of ​​the design inside the castle was to emphasize its defensive use. To do this, we recreate the path of the patrol, eliminating the plants and placing an anti-root membrane under the new route. We let the plants grow in the middle to hide the large antennae and contrast with the path. Therefore, the central part became a park simply by placing some banks here and there. Finally, we placed two elevated wooden platforms, in the same place where the old towers used to be, to point to other defensive buildings.

Church of the mid-eighteenth century, having its own archive and books from 1769, working from that date as a branch church of Velez Rubio, being served, depending on the periods by one or two priests, who acted as coadjutors of the church of Vélez Rubio, but it would not be until June 1, 1900 when it becomes its own Parish. The territorial scope that the bishopric of Almeria assigned to it when the parish of Taberno was constituted, did not coincide exactly with the municipal term, serving as an example that of the district of Santopetar that belonged to the parish of Santa María de Nieva. This church was built by the residents of Taberno with dedication to San José, the deceased being buried inside the same church, until the old cemetery was created, located in the current street of Pablo Picasso and later, in the current one.

Walking through the Marble Region The Guadix-Almendricos line (Granada-Murcia) was built to give quick access to the mineral that housed the area. Its explotation began between 1906 and 1907 by several companies with English capital, until at the end of the last century it passed into the hands of the Spanish capital. Disused since 1985, now it will become an itinerary of great accessibility and safety for all types of users, with no age limit or physical capacity. The Almanzora Greenway runs along part of the disused Guadix-Almendricos railway line, in the section that runs between the provincial limit of Granada-Almería and the municipal district of Huércal-Overa. The final length of this section of Vía Verde del Almanzora will be approximately 35 km. The municipalities of Serón, Fines, Cantoria and Olula del Río have carried out refurbishment projects in the sections of this same line that runs through their municipal boundaries. In this way, it is intended to complete a large greenway in the Almanzora valley, with the idea of ​​creating a road suitable for cycling and walking, suitable for all types of users, including those with reduced mobility.

Sueños de un Cantero can be considered as the culminating work of the sculptor Eduardo Cruz. The theme and elements of the work evoke the roots and the cycle of his personal and artistic life, which began in Macael, and returned to Macael. Eduardo Cruz Rubio was born in Macael, on August 17, 1931, into a family of stonemasons. From a very young age he learned the secrets of marble from his father. At the age of 11 he worked as an apprentice in Luis el Canela’s workshop. During adolescence, the restlessness to carry out a creative activity begins to awaken in him. In those years, its references were artisans from the region such as Pepe el Turronero and Juan el Polillo. In 1949, the economic situation made him emigrate, with his whole family, to Argentina. In Mar de Plata he began to work in a well-known marble workshop and to frequent artistic and intellectual circles in the country, attending the Pascuala Mugaburu School of Fine Arts and the Rogelio Yrutia School of Crafts. On weekends he enters the world of sculpture through his first teacher, José Alonso. His expertise causes that in 1956 he begins to teach modeling classes […]

It is known about it from the year 1877 and was restored in 2004. The water it carries is good for consumption, it has a kind of drinking fountain where the animals used to drink. It is normally used for irrigation. The flow is low, although it never runs out. In April 2009, the public picnic area next to the fountain was inaugurated (where the old laundry room, which was used by women at the end of the day), was equipped with tables, barbecues and services. This fountain is famous because on the night of San Juan it is tradition that people go there to wash their faces, because according to legend you will remain young for life.

The route along the path-viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the central core of the Macael quarries. In this deposit are the main marble reserves of all the Spanish State, followed at a considerable distance by those of Huelva. Marble is a metamorphic rock, the result of a recrystallization process, in which conchiferous fossil remains are present. As a result of this process, calcite and dolomite are generated, from the original limestones and dolomites. This metamorphism, in which mechanical, thermal and geochemical factors are present, is generated in underground environments. Its laminar disposition and its mining accessibility are the results of tectonic forces and the dynamics of the creeping mantles of the Betic mountain ranges. All this complex process concludes with the offer of marble, noble material, appreciated and constant presence in the monumental architecture and outstanding since antiquity. It can be observed the difficulty of exploitation, and the technical sophistication and machinery necessary for extraction.

Los Estrechos del Ciscarico is a stretch of Rambla where erosion has been vertical in harder materials, leaving stone corridors that the walker must do in single file. Ideal for photography enthusiasts.

The public laundry located at the entrance of the town of C / Pilar, the main artery of the municipality, is part of the hydraulic infrastructure to use the water flow from the upper rafts (Fuente Nueva) to the Pals, water that goes directly to irrigate the huerta urraqueña. It was created in 1947, before the construction of the drinking water and sanitation network. The women used the laundry to soap and rinse clothes, today it is still used but much less than before. In addition, until a few years ago, the laundry had other uses such as, for example, in the time of slaughter, for the washing of pieces, utensils, sacks or rags of the slaughter. The clothes were rubbed on the stone and soaps were used that, being made with natural products (oil and soda) by the same washerwomen, the water that was used to wash was not contaminated and could be reused to water. Once the laundry was finished, the women transported the clothes to their homes using cubes to hang them and let the sun finish the job. Hard work, especially in winter when wet hands and cold freeze women’s hands. This hydraulic group that provided […]

The Plaza de Almería has been transformed into the imposing monumental complex ‘Marmoris’, Latin for marble, which pays homage to the use of white marble in the municipality in Roman times. The square has reproductions in Macael marble of the front colonnade of a temple, a pool, the peristyle of a Roman house, an ornamental fountain, a replica of the mosaic of the planetarium of Italica in Seville and two sculptures, a ‘Chirivello’ for the pool and an imposing sculpture of Neptune for the fountain. More than 400 tons of marble. That is the amount of white marble from Macael used in the remodelling of the Plaza de Almería. The monumental complex ‘Marmoris’ is made up of different elements. The visitor is welcomed by a portico of imposing dimensions made up of 6 Corinthian style columns of almost 8 metres in height with their capitals.

The Old Railway Station of Zurgena is located in the neighborhood of La Alfoquía in the town of Zurgena. It was inaugurated on March 28, 1885 and closed on January 1, 1985. There were three types of trains: the fruit carrier, the mail and the mineral: The fruit bowl was a freight train carrying a third-class carriage with wooden seats. Every morning I left Zurgena and returned at dusk. The mail was the train responsible for the distribution of correspondence. At the Zurgena station correspondence was distributed to impatient companies and individuals. Daily two couriers circulated: the one of Alicante-Granada in the morning and the Granada-Alicante in the afternoon. The mineral also called “Yankis” because it was manufactured in the USA, was the train that transported iron ore from the loading docks of Serón and Los Canos, to El Hornillo in Águilas.

One of the places that most impress those who take a walk through the Almanzora Valley in the north of Almería, is “El Estrecho” located in the municipality of Urrácal. This narrow gorge is located on the Salada ravine at the foot of the hill “El Castillico”. For decades it has not been possible to pass due to the great amount of vegetation that there was in the rambla. Formerly, with the rise of the channel, it was cleaned naturally but the construction of dams for the prevention of large floods and floods has made over the years that appear large numbers of oleanders, tarays, blackberries and false rushes that prevented the access. Thanks to the cleaning work that has been carried out, today, we can enjoy a walk that surprises us by its particular geological formations of great beauty. The passage of water, which will accompany us in the course of this gorge, and the action of the wind, have shaped these spectacular geological formations for years, and their walls reach several meters in height. It consists of two separate formations whose length reaches about half a kilometer where our senses will begin to enjoy the spectacle offered by […]

♦♦♦ High Tourist Interest. Macael is inextricably linked to the word Marble. The quarries very close to the urban area have been exploited since ancient times, constituting the most important exploitation nucleus of ornamental rocks of the national territory. Marble is a metamorphic rock that comes from a sedimentary rock, limestone, which suffers physical changes in its internal structure due to the action of pressure and temperature. Its quality and possibility of natural shine when polished has turned it into an excellent ornamental rock. In addition, its hardness allows its use as a structural element. During the Recent Neolithic and the Chalcolithic, the populations of the Almanzora Valley took advantage of the white marble stones that dragged the water courses to elaborate small schematic figures called “cruciform idols” or “Almerian idols” that they deposited in the collective tombs. In ancient archaeological research they were considered one of the characteristic elements of the “Culture of Almeria”. With the Romans began to exploit the quarries of Macael on a larger scale, but it is in the Muslim era when there is greater continuity in extraction. With the Christian repopulation of Macael, the activity of the marble sector re-emerged. Macael’s “Libro de Apeo” […]
