The Puente Romano in Granada, also known as the Puente del Genil, is a historic bridge in the city of Granada, Spain. Although its name suggests that it is a Roman construction, it was actually built in the 12th century. It spans the River Genil, near its confluence with the River Darro. It is a bridge with five caisson arches, each with a span of seven metres, and is made of stone and bricks. It was originally built with stones from La Malahá. It is now a pedestrian bridge and has been a protected heritage site within the Historic Garden of the Paseos del Genil since 2007.

The Ermita del Cristo de las Cañas is a private hermitage located in the heart of the Cortijo de las Cañas, on the road to Santa Fe. The building, located in Belicena, is surrounded by two imposing chestnut trees that are over 100 years old. The hermitage is dedicated to the Cristo de las Cañas and is particularly famous for the tradition that on Good Friday at 3:00 pm the hermitage is opened to the public and visitors can make their three wishes, which, according to tradition, are granted by the Cristo. The hermitage was originally built in the 17th century and has a rich history, including a special dispensation granted by the Archbishop of Granada in 1781. The hermitage is also used for religious gatherings and processions, especially in times of drought, when the residents of Belicena bring the image of their patron saint, San Marcos, to the hermitage to pray for rain.

The lake of Los Bermejales, or Embalse de Los Bermejales, is known for its beautiful blue waters. The clear color of the water is mainly due to the bright sun and the relatively good water quality. The lake is surrounded by the Sierras Tejeda y Almijar, which creates a beautiful landscape, especially at sunrise and sunset.
