Hikes in Tabernas

Embarking on a hike to Cerro Alfaro, a prominent peak in the Sierra Alhamilla near Almería, Spain, offers adventurers a moderately challenging ascent with rewarding panoramic views of the Tabernas Desert and surrounding landscapes.

Hiking in the Tabernas Desert is like stepping into a Wild West movie — and for good reason! Known as the only true desert in Europe, this surreal landscape of badlands, dry riverbeds (ramblas), canyons, and sculpted clay hills is not only geologically fascinating, but has served as the backdrop for dozens of iconic spaghetti westerns.
