Welcome to Parque Natural Sierra María-Los Vélez

Encompassing some 226 sq km of verdant mountain terrain in the north of Almería province, the Parque Natural Sierra María-Los Vélez is a glorious wilderness. Its rocky peaks are cloaked in forests of pine and holm oaks whilst overhead golden eagles and peregrine falcons patrol the silent skies.

The area offers wonderful walking with a series of waymarked trails – at their best in spring or autumn when the weather is cooler – including the 13km Sendero Solana de Maimón, near Vélez Blanco, and the Sendero Umbría de la Virgen, just west of the tiny upland town of María, which is where you can also learn about the park's unique flora at a small botanical garden.
