Ugíjar

Highlight • Settlement

Population geographically located in the center of the Alpujarras, and where it is one of the centers that make up this well-known area of the province of Granada. From this point you can go to a large number of surrounding towns, headed by Sierra Nevada.

Between Lucainena and Benínar Reservoir

Highlight • Trail

Small road from the center of Lucainena, passing through Darrícal and afterwards, ending at the Presa de Benínar. The narrow road but surrounded by beautiful places and that follows the Río Ugíjar.

Turón to Benínar Reservoir Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice and curvy track that is a lot of fun. Unfortunately I didn't have time to drive the climb all the way to the top, in total you can drive uphill from the reservoir for just over 20km. The slope of the marked route is mostly moderate 5-8%. Attention: occasionally the asphalt is not so good, the protection of the "guardrails" for cyclists is far too low or has large holes, so that you could slip through them if you fall.

Benínar Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Reservoir fed by the waters of the Grande de Adra river that descends from Sierra Nevada. The name of the reservoir is due to the fact that it was built on the town of Beninar, which has been left under its waters. The area is surrounded by mountains and rich vegetation, offers a spectacular view of nature.

Road to Benínar Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of the most beautiful cycling routes in Andalusia. Very winding, hilly, and with excellent views. It's best to plan northbound here (a lot of uphill), and eastbound (a main road) southbound, which is then easy to ride at high speed.
