Ohanes |

The traveller seeking rural tourism has his own private paradise in this ecological municipality located on the foothills of the south face of the Sierra Nevada. He can sleep in rural houses or farmhouses surrounded by grapevines that serve as high mountain shelters. The streets and houses recall the Moorish past and their terraces stacked up against the slopes look like copies of the surrounding cultivated slate terraces. All kinds of excursions can be made into the interior of Sierra Nevada Park from Ohanes: by bicycle or donkey on foot or in an all terrain vehicle. Nevertheless before leaving town visit the Purísima Concepcion Church; the Casa de la Torre; Juan Cristobal plaza, with its beautiful view over the meadows, and the Tices Sanctuary, located five kilometres from Ohanes. Make this date for the Sunday nearest 25 April to experience the fiestas of San Marcos. During the procession there are eight places marked where the cows and bulls tied with two ropes and going in front of the procession. Bow to the saint. Almeria province |
