Geoparque de Granada

The Unesco Global Geopark of Granada is a site within the Unesco geoparks network, located in south-eastern Spain in the province of Granada, covering 4,722 km² across the comarcas of Guadix, Baza and Huéscar. It was included in the European Geoparks Network on 10 July 2020, alongside the readmission of the Parque Cultural del Maestrazgo in Teruel.

The area is characterised by its geological, geomorphological and Quaternary palaeontological richness, a period during which a river and a lake existed. The subsequent erosion of the Quaternary sediments created the geopark's distinctive landscapes, characterised by valleys, depressions or "hoyas", as they are known locally. The area is also known for its cave dwellings, inhabited since the Middle Ages, as well as for an abundance of archaeological sites that showcase its historical, artistic and cultural heritage, including 72 Geological Interest Sites (LIGS).
