Granada UNESCO Global Geopark, UNESCO Global Geopark in Province of Granada, Spain.
Granada UNESCO Global Geopark is a protected natural area in the Province of Granada that displays diverse geological structures and holds fossils from the Quaternary Period. The territory features badlands formations and natural landscapes with hiking trails and marked routes for visitor exploration.
About five million years ago, ancient river systems and lakes shaped the landscape and carved out extensive badlands in arid conditions. These geological processes created the conditions for preserving ecosystems from distant time periods.
Local communities here are deeply connected to the geological heritage and use the natural features for education and tourism. Visitors encounter people who protect their surroundings while maintaining their traditional relationship with the land.
Visitors can find information on the official website about guided tours, educational programs, and hiking routes across the territory. The best time to explore is during cooler months when temperatures are comfortable and outdoor activities are enjoyable.
The territory holds geological records of an ancient river system with no sea outlet, preserving complete ecosystems from past times. This makes it a rare example of ecosystem conservation in isolated basins.
