Tabernas Village and Desert

Highlight • Settlement

Tabernas is a town in the Los Filabres - Tabernas region, in the province of Almería. It is located next to the Tabernas Desert Natural Park, a unique desert area in Europe.

This area has great scenic and geological value, and boasts its own unique flora and fauna. It is precisely these landscapes that made this area an important open-air film set where numerous Westerns and other films simulating African and Arabian locations were filmed.

Tabernas already had an Almohad castle in the 10th century, given its location on the communication route between Almería and the eastern Iberian Peninsula. After the expulsion of the Moors, the castle was almost in ruins and was rebuilt by Emperor Charles V.

Climb to Alto de Velefique

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

El Alto de Velefique is one of Almería's most notable ascents, known for its long ramps, quiet roads, and a series of well-spaced hairpin turns. The gradients are consistent, often between 4% and 5%, with occasional sections exceeding 10%, making the climb a sustained yet achievable effort.

The ascent offers sweeping views of the Sierra de los Filabres and a sense of isolation ideal for focusing on your pedaling. Its layout and landscape are reminiscent of the famous Alpe d’Huez, although it is a less-trafficked and much quieter route.

Ford Bravo is a recreated Western village. The buildings in the village appear in various western films. When SERGIO Leone discovered Tabernas in the early 1960s, a wave of recordings started. Many film recordings were made in the beautiful desert environment.
