Sierra de Huétor Natural Park

The Sierra de Huétor Natural Park spans 12,128 hectares of limestone terrain with narrow ravines, steep cliffs, springs, and deep valleys.

The park gained its protected status in 1989 and expanded its conservation measures in 1992 as part of Spain's environmental preservation initiatives.

The Moors engineered the Aynadamar irrigation channel from Fuente Grande spring to supply water to Granada's Albaicín district through the mountains.

Visitors can access multiple trails from the Puerto de Lobo center, which provides maps, parking facilities, and designated picnic areas.

The park contains over 800 flowering plant species, including 75 varieties found only in the Iberian Peninsula.
