Granada - Guejar Sierra

Genil valley, 1000m high, Sierra Nevada National Park...

The village of Guejar Sierra nestles in the Genil valley at a height of more than 1,000 metres on the edge of the Sierra Nevada National Park. The population is less than 3,000, watch the world go by on Plaza Mayor with its 17th century church, several walks into the National Park commence here. These are of varying lengths and difficulties and give an opportunity to experience the varied flora and fauna found in this area. The river has been dammed further downstream and this has created a beautiful area of water that also adds another dimension to the scenery. In the summer the peaks of Veleta and Mulhacen can be bagged with relative ease and throughout the year the surrounding valleys show an ever changing display of colours as the seasons change, enjoy sports such as canoeing, rafting, kayaking and mountain biking.
