Beas de Guadix: viewpoints, church of the Annunciation and caves

Beas de Guadix allows you to get closer to the gulley landscape and the heritage of the region’s caves. To organize the visit, you can combine a walk through the center with a viewpoint and, if you have arranged admission, the Troglodytism Interpretation Center. Check that your destination is Beas de Guadix, to avoid confusing it with Beas de Granada.

Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation

The City Hall documents the beginning of the construction of the church in 1543, by Nuño Cañizares. He describes it as a Mudejar temple with remains of coffered ceiling, a two-section tower and a sundial on the façade.

You can include its surroundings in the urban walk. To visit the interior, check the opening and respect religious celebrations; This guide does not certify a continuous tourist schedule.

Troglodytism Interpretation Center: Algarbes and Camariles

The municipal tourist portal identifies the center dedicated to the custom of living underground. Their proposal uses the cave complexes of Algarbes and Camariles and audiovisual media to explain this heritage.

The card places the center on Rambla Street and indicates that you must request an appointment at City Hall, by calling 958 670 135. Contact before traveling: confirm date, time, price if any, duration and spaces included. No reserved ticket or proven fare is presented here.

Also ask about stairs, slopes and access conditions if you are traveling with mobility difficulties. The historical interest of the caves does not mean that all the complexes can be visited independently. Respect private homes and enter only authorized spaces.

End of the World Viewpoint

The municipal viewpoint of the viewpoint describes views towards the Sierra Nevada, the badlands of Guadix, the Alhama river plain and the Mencal hill. It is a stop to understand the contrast between the eroded lands and the cultivated areas of the valley.

Check the location of the token and the recommended access before leaving. It is not stated that any path proposed by a navigator is suitable for your vehicle nor that there is an accessible itinerary from the town.

At the viewpoint, use the available spaces and stay away from edges and unstable terrain. With children, pay attention to the specific steps of the route. Assess the weather and the state of the terrain before approaching; Visibility of all landscape elements is not guaranteed.

Other viewpoints to prepare the walk

The municipal tourist inventory includes the viewpoints del Molino, La Erilla and Cerro de la Horca. Located La Erilla on Erilla Street, next to the church, so you can check if it fits into your walk through the center.

The Cerro de la Horca file publishes the address calle Alta, 2 and describes views of the urban area and the troglodyte complex. Choose the viewpoint according to its access and the time available; It is not necessary to add them all to enjoy the visit.

How to organize departure and return

First make an appointment at the interpretation center and organize the walk through the town around that time. Add the End of the World only after checking the access and travel it requires. If you prefer only an outside exit, you can focus on the core and a viewpoint suitable for the group.

The municipal location information is published by the City Council at plaza Ayuntamiento, s/n, the telephone 958 670 135 and the email beasdeguadix@dipgra.es. Use these channels to check assets, access and services for your date.

If you depend on public transport, check with the operator the stop served by Beas de Guadix, the departure and return times. Arriving in Guadix does not in itself prove a subsequent connection to the town: this guide does not guarantee frequencies, transfers or prices.

Bring water, grippy shoes and adequate protection at the same time. To eat or stay, confirm opening, availability and dietary needs directly with the establishment. Leave room to return and avoid organizing the visit around unconfirmed services.
