A good plan to do on your visit to the Almanzora Valley (Almería) is to go to one of the numerous viewpoints that offer you different views of the region, both of the valley and of the Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra de las Estancias.
Viewpoint Las Canteras of Cosentino

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…

Viewpoint of the Castle of Oria
Calle Ciezar, s/n. Oria. Almeria
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…
Viewpoint of La Santa Cruz
Calle Arrabal de Sta. Bárbara, Albox, Almería
The Santa Cruz that rises in Albox appears in the mid-eighteenth century as a symbol of the Christian presence that had reconquered the territories occupied by the Mohammedans. From that transcendental moment, the image of this cross has decorated the highest hill of these places and regions.
Viewpoint of Sierro
Calle Padre Pepe, 11 Sierro - Almería
The City Council of Sierro has improved the accessibility to the castle of the town by its southern part, conditioning an area in disuse, little passable and dangerous, and creating a lookout-picnic with which it is intended "to give a better service to those who visit the castle". The Consistory of Sierro and the Provincial Delegation of Almeria signed an agreement of collaboration for the execution of the project of creation of a 'Mirador-Merendero in the Paraje del Castillo' based on the call for economic assistance by granting subsidies to municipalities and autonomous local entities of the province of Almería…

Viewpoint of La Cerra
Camino de Campillo Purchena. Urrácal. Almeria
The viewpoints are those balconies, like the Mirador de la Cerrá, in which today we lean out to realize how big and beautiful is the power of nature, to delight us with such beautiful and impressive images, such as we can see from any viewpoint of the Almanzora Valley; these high places that we know today as lookouts are nothing more than the vestige of other times.
