El Nacimiento Picnic Area

← With kids
40 km from Alhama

A kilometre from Laujar, inside the Sierra Nevada natural park: picnic tables, barbecues, drinking water, shade and a playground. The closest full-day outing to Alhama.

A kilometre from the centre of Laujar, already inside the Sierra Nevada natural park, at the point where the río Andarax rises. It is the busiest picnic area in the Almería Alpujarra, and from Alhama it is the closest full-day outing there is.

It is equipped for staying: picnic tables, barbecues — booked in advance —, drinking water, shade under the trees, a playground and free parking. None of it costs anything.

It is also a trailhead for walks and the base for local active-tourism operators, who run workshops, guided routes and electric-bike hire from here.

Highlights

  1. Inside the Sierra Nevada natural park
