October 3, 2025, Lucainena de las Torres Tourist Information Center

The Lucainena de las Torres information office is the best starting point for exploring this village, located next to the Vía Verde in a building reminiscent of an old train station. Here, visitors receive personalized attention and recommendations on routes and activities, such as the popular, well-marked 6.2-km mining trail. The site is adapted for people with reduced mobility and families, making it accessible to all. It's a highly recommended stop before exploring the village and its surroundings.

The Town Hall Square is the heart of Lucainena de las Torres and a perfect place to pause during your route. Surrounded by whitewashed houses and flower-filled balconies, it captures the peaceful atmosphere of this village, declared one of the most beautiful in Spain.

The La Fuente recreational area is located in Senés, in the heart of the Filabres mountain range, and is an ideal spot to relax after exploring this mountainous environment. The fountain, built of marble, has pipes that supply an old drinking trough and a traditional wash house that still stands next to the ruins of a mill. The water flows not only from the spring but also from the walls of the ravine, creating a cool and pleasant atmosphere. It's a perfect place to take a break, refill your water, and enjoy the picnic area surrounded by nature.

The calcining kilns at the Lucainena de las Torres mining area are one of the most unique vestiges of the area's former mining activity. Eight masonry kilns with refractory brick interiors remain, used to process the ore before its rail transport to Agua Amarga. You can still see the loading platform for the wagons, remains of trenches, embankments, and even an old power plant. This complex offers a very interesting visit for lovers of industrial history and hiking through unique surroundings.

The Church of Our Lady of Montesión was built in the 18th century in the neoclassical style, following the destruction of the original church during the Morisco Rebellion. Built on the site of an old mosque, it stands out for its fortress-like exterior and its two entrance portals. The interior features a Latin cross plan with a single vaulted nave and a dome over the transept, as well as a quadrangular tower attached to the sanctuary. It is a point of historical and architectural interest for those visiting the area.

Its surroundings combine hills, gullies, and unusual sites such as "El Salar," a salt flat with a unique ecosystem. Its heritage includes the Neo-Romanesque Church of Santa María and the Cueva de la Mora archaeological site, home to Neolithic remains and cave paintings.

Village situated in the foothills of the Filabres, descending to the depression of Sorbas and near the Campo de Tabernas. Situated on a small elevation, it forms a well-structured round group of buildings in a not unattractive landscape where fields of vineyards, almond and olive trees predominate. The church of St. Mary characterizes the village.
