La Peza – Viewpoint

Set on the foothills of Monte Rosado and facing the north face of Sierra Nevada, La Peza was an ancient Roman castro, whose toponym comes from the word lápice (stone), and on whose site was built the medieval fortress responsible for guarding the old road from Guadix to Granada through the Huétor Sierra.

The natural environment of La Peza is part of the Unesco World Geopark of Granada. It is an area included in the network of natural parks of the Unesco. Its extension is 4,722 km² along the regions of Baza, Guadix and Huéscar. It highlights its geological, geomorphological and paleontological wealth of the Quaternary era.

The Mirador de Peña Bermeja is one of the highest places in the municipality and is an outstanding route for hikers and mountain bikers.
