G\u00f3jar allows you to prepare a walk through its religious heritage and its historic houses. Start at the Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n and locate on the map the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Paz, the Casa Grande and the hermitage of the Three Crosses. If you want to see the interior or continue towards the mills, confirm beforehand the possibility of visiting and access.<\/p>\n

Church of Our Lady of Peace<\/h2>\n

The municipal catalog of monuments<\/a> identifies the church of Our Lady of Peace<\/strong> as a 16th century temple. Its fa\u00e7ade with pointed arches, its nave and the 18th century bell tower stand out.<\/p>\n

For a short walk, you can dedicate a stop outside. If you want to enter, check the opening and respect the celebrations. The name of the temple and its heritage value help to locate it; Access to the interior must be confirmed by the date of your visit.<\/p>\n

Casa Grande and Casa de la Tercia<\/h2>\n

In the Casa Grande<\/strong> the City Council documents rooms from the 15th-16th centuries and a mansion from the 19th century. The description highlights a two-story building arranged around a patio. To prepare the visit, ask what spaces can be visited and under what conditions.<\/p>\n

The Casa de la Tercia<\/strong>, from the 16th century, preserves in its name the memory of the collection of the royal tertias. Both references allow us to interpret the history of the municipality during the walk, without assuming the entrance to its rooms.<\/p>\n

Hermitage of the Three Crosses and mills<\/h2>\n

The municipal catalog places the construction of the hermita de las Tres Cruces<\/strong> in the second half of the 19th century. It also includes the flour mills of Vedril and Ampuero<\/strong>, to which it attributes Muslim origin.<\/p>\n

Before adding the mills to your plan, request their location and access conditions. A walk through the center and an exit to a building outside your route require different preparations. Check the route, the surface and the time available if you want to connect several places on foot.<\/p>\n

How to organize the walk and a stop for lunch<\/h2>\n

Take the Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n<\/strong> as an initial reference and prepare a tour of the exteriors that interest you. Prioritize two or three points if you have little time. With children or mobility needs, check the slopes and pavement of the specific route.<\/p>\n

The City Hall<\/a> publishes its address at Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n, 1, 18150 G\u00f3jar<\/strong>, and the telephone number 958 509 152<\/a>. Their contact page indicates customer service from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Check the opening of the building you want to visit and the access conditions before you go.<\/p>\n

To choose where to eat, consult the municipal directory of shops and hospitality<\/a>. Check with the establishment for their hours, location and service available for your day. The ASOCOHE directory allows you to locate businesses and their contacts. For a meal, check the reservation and communicate any dietary needs directly to the establishment.<\/p>\n

Bus from Granada and return<\/h2>\n

The directory of the Transport Consortium<\/a> identifies the line 171: Granada\u2013Og\u00edjares\u2013G\u00f3jar\u2013D\u00edlar<\/strong>. Check the route, stop and time that corresponds to the direction of travel and the day of the week.<\/p>\n

Prepare your return before leaving and add the walking distance from your last point of visit to the stop. By car, use the exact address and check where you can park; Reserve room to walk to your chosen locations.<\/p>\n

Parties and other activities<\/h2>\n

If you want to coincide the outing with a celebration, check the municipal news and announcements<\/a> for your date. Confirm place, time and reservation need in the current program.<\/p>\n

To complete the day with nature, choose a documented route and check its start, distance and gradient. Bring water and appropriate footwear, and adjust the plan to the transportation and pace of the group.<\/p>\n
