Only 15km northeast of Almeria city is this largely barren and rugged 8,500ha mountain range, designated a protected natural area in 1989. Riven by deep gullies, particularly on its southern slopes, it rises to 1,387m at its highest point of the Colativí peak.

The church dates back to 1505 and was built on the site of a former mosque. Around the time of the Moorish rebellion in the same century, the area was invaded by the pirate Omar- Al Askenn, who looted the population in 1566.

The Calcination Furnaces were recently recovered and depict a faithful reflection of the mining past of Lucainena de las Torres. After extraction, the ore was treated in these furnaces, before subsequent transport via rail.

The Tourist Office is located in the Town Hall of Lucainena de las Torres, opening from Monday to Friday.

The Festivals in Lucainena de las Torres are Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, Fiestas de San Sebastián, Día de Andalucía, Semana Santa, Romería de Santiago, Semana Cultural Deportiva y Feria de la Virgen del Monte Sión.
