Sorbas Almeria

The night of Ash Wednesday in Sorbas they hurl pots at the homes of those that have had disputes during the year or that are easily irritated. Its Holy week or the approach to Sorbas is no less exciting. Along the road you will see a row of houses hanging to a canyon of the River Aguas and the Arab structure of the town contrast with the Christian buildings such as the santa maría church, constructed over the former mosque, or the mansions of the Duke of valoig and of the duke of Alba.

But for thrills they don’t match the natural scenery of Karsts de Yeso, whose caves you can explore with guides and be enthralled by the columns, coral, stalactites and stalagmites of crystalline gypsum that cast a white gleam in the darkness. The most interesting caves are the agua eight kilometres long and the covedura, 120 metres deep. Karsts de Yeso is without a doubt a superb site for the speleologist.
