Vegas de Genil

Vegas del Genil was formed in 1976 with the union of three villages: Ambroz, Belicena and Purchil. Vegas del Genil is a municipality in the Vega de Granada, located just west of the city of Granada.

Puente de los Siete Ojos

The bridge connects the waters of the Retamar Stream and the Turca River. It currently lacks its seven spans due to a severe storm in 1960, which necessitated the construction of a new bridge in the same location. Despite having only three large spans, it still retains its old name.

Cruces Rurales

Algarinejo’s religious past is once again evident in its rural crosses or altars. These small structures, which are often nothing more than small rooms of 1m2 with a cross or a saint or virgin inside, are usually erected on the top of a hill, within view of the surrounding farmhouses.

Alhendín

Alhendín is situated in the heart of the Granada Lowlands, a haven for culture and nature lovers.

Puente Hundido

In ancient times, the bridge was a vitally important route, connecting Algarinejo with the Priego– Iznájar and Montefrío–Loja cattle routes. This road was strengthened due to its importance as a border crossing during the Nasrid period, so its origins are often dated to possibly the fourteenth century.

Ermita del Santo Cristo

The chapel was built in 1730 at the top of a hill populated by olive trees, the site of the last station of a religious route that began at the parish church and continued through 13 stations around the outskirts of the town until reaching the Sanctuary.

Castillo de Cesna

Turrush Castle is located on the banks of the Iznájar Reservoir, near Fuentes de Cesna. It is believed that this castle was the place where Abd al-Rahman I lived before confronting the state in Córdoba, leading him to govern the newly independent state of Al-Andalus.

La Fábrica

A sixteenth-seventeenth century building located in the old part of the town, now part of the church. Originally used as a cloth factory, it was later converted to distilling spirits and producing wine. It is worth noting that Algarinejo, in the eighteenth century, enjoyed significant industrial activity.

Iglesia de Santa María de la Mayor

The town’s most important monument, erected in 1779 in the pure neoclassical style by the architect Ventura Rodríguez, which links it to the churches of Santa Fe and Vélez de Benaudalla, and funded by the fifth Marquis of Algarinejo.

Torre o Fortín de Pesquera

Pesquera Castle, also known as Torre de Pesquera, is a defensive complex located on a rocky outcrop on the right bank of the Pesquera River, a tributary of the Genil River. It is reached via the road that connects the village of Fuentes de Cesna with the municipality of Zagra.

Casa Parroquial

One of the finest examples of a stately home within the Castilian Quarter, the building was constructed between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its rooms are arranged around an interior courtyard.
