Location & what to see

La Casa del Desierto is in Gorafe, inland in the province of Granada, amid an arid landscape of badlands and low hills. The village centre is 1.8 km away; the Megalithism Interpretation Centre and the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Anunciación are also 1.8 km away. Mirador Puntal de Don Diego is 540 m away, while Pico Cocón is 550 m away. The rural surroundings make it worth planning journeys between the various sites and setting aside time to take in the views across the terrain.

Megalithic remains start close to the house: Dolmen Gorafe 101 is 1.5 km away, Dolmen Gorafe 102 is 2.2 km away and Dolmen Gorafe 240 is 2.3 km away. The ruins of Castillo de Gorafe are 1.6 km away, and Dolmen Gorafe 103 is 2.5 km away. Guadix Cathedral is about 31 km away. Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport is 72 km away. Mesón Ilusión, 1.7 km away, is a nearby place to eat.

A visit can combine the viewpoint with the archaeological heritage, taking time to explore the Megalithism Interpretation Centre and the dolmens scattered around the area. In spring and autumn, temperatures are generally more suitable for outdoor walks; in summer, early morning and late afternoon are usually more comfortable for exploring places exposed to the sun. For a meal, Los Chaparros is 10 km away and Sierra de Baza is 13 km away. Guadix Cathedral extends the excursion with a visit to a historic monument, while the village of Gorafe, 1.8 km away, offers another nearby stop to round off your itinerary.
