There are many ways of enjoying this moderate climate. The diversity of the ecosystems allows you to carry out a variety of leisure activities.

Camping, rural tourism, mountain biking, hill walking.. Some of the most interesting routes are:

Alhamilla Sierra: located between Níjar and the Tabernas Desert. It is reached from the N-340 road. The woods of holm oak intermingled with reforested pine trees contribute to the richness of the scenery in the area.

Natural Karst Landscape in Gypsum: located in the municipality of Sorbas, it is the most important Karst area in the world. It is very deep, and the contrasts in colour also appear underground, where the darkness is set against the white columns, crystalloids, corals, stalactites, stalagmites of gypsum. The cave has over 8 kms of galleries, most of which are unexplored.

Mini-Hollywood Cowboy town:in the Tabernas desert, the Mini-Hollywood cowboy town has been the scene or countless westerns. In this desert scenery, the sun plays with the shapes of the chasms at different times of the day. We would therefore recommend a 24 hour visit, to witness the constantly changing natural spectacle.

Vera: a town with a great historic tradition. It has some important monuments such as the 16C Iglesia de la Encarnación (Church of the Incarnation), the 16C Church of St Agustin.

Cabo de Gata Nature Park - Níjar :a Nature Reserve with a climate close to the West African climate. Due to this, the thicket is the predominant vegetation, and one of the most important species is the Palm Heart, the only native palm tree in Europe and which is the symbol of the Nature Park. It is also renowned for the diversity of its fauna since, due to its strategic location, its salt pans are used as a stopping place for birds migrating from different points in Europe. Amongst them are Flamencos and Sea Gulls.
