Gorafe – Desert

Los Coloraos desert is a beautiful location in the municipality of Gorafe that owes its name to the predominant colour (red) found in its clay-origin geological formations. In addition, it is noticeable that as long as a day goes the desert keeps showing an amazing variety of shapes and a changing palette of ocher, vermilion and yellow tones. Sunrise and sunset are the perfect moments for enjoying the startling landscape in all its splendour, which is mainly characterised by the whimsical, arid badlands built by erosion processes.

In order to access Los Coloraos  it is necessary to use a SUV or a similar vehicle that can handle the surface of the desert. In case it is needed, there are various specialised companies that offer guided visits and that can help with the transport. These travelling options will allow you and your crew to move around and experience one of the most unique landscapes in Europe. Its big gullies and the different coloured sandstone formations will take you to a spectacular scenario worthy of any blockbuster or acclaimed documentary.
