Only only one hour from the Mediterranean coast, Granada is situated in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, and the city of Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at an elevation of 738 metres above sea level, straddling the confluence of three rivers, Beiro, Darro and Genil. Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is characterised by volcanic rock formations, lava flows, volcanic domes, and volcanic calderas. The park joined UNESCO's Global Geoparks Network in 2006, and is also a member of the European Geoparks Network. A great ride through natural beauty.
