Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
Short stage of the Mozarabic Way in the region of Marquesado del Zenete, at the foot of Sierra Nevada. The about 12 km run through the high plateau of Granada with arid landscape dotted with traditional orchards irrigated by Moorish irrigation ditches. Alquife is famous for its old iron mine (the largest open-pit iron mine in Europe until its closure in 1996), now converted into a natural space and mining interpretation center.
