This excursion starts and ends at the ES BP Vera, located at Ctra. Vera-Garrucha Km 1,8 in Vera. (starting point on map), iin the province of Almeria, as it is a circular route.
The route starts from the ES BP Vera along the service road to Vera Playa where it runs between 3 and 4 km from Playa de Quitapellejos to Playa de la Fabrica del Duro. At this point again on the AL8106 road for 10 km to El Cortijo Relente, from here we head to the old mining village of "El Arteal". There will be an informative stop about the history of the village, and the economic development of mining in the province.
We continue the route through the area of Specieros to Los Lobos, taking the opportunity to walk around the village and then return along the Camino de los Specieros to Sierra Almagrera. The road runs parallel to the Barranco del Jaroso ravine where you can see the remains of the mining operations until you reach La Máquina de Vapor, which can be reached on foot along a path made for pedestrian traffic. Once there, there will be historical reviews on the evolution of transport in the area and various historical anecdotes that will illustrate the rich landscape and environment.
We will return along the same path, heading towards the end where there is an abandoned farmhouse with a viewpoint overlooking the Calas Del Pirata, El Infalible and La Fragua. We will take the opportunity to travel through different eras through stories of pirates and smugglers that begin around 1573 and almost reach the present day.
We will finish the route at this point by returning to the starting point.
Comfortable and suitable clothes that you don't mind if they get dusty or muddy because depending on the route we may pass through water, mud or areas where there is a lot of dust.
