What we will see and do on our excursion
Discover one of the most unique day trips from Granada, combining a geological wonder unlike any other in the world, mining history, and the legendary atmosphere of the Tabernas Desert. This excursion includes a visit to the Pulpí Geode, the Black Room, and a stop at MiniHollywood, creating a comprehensive and unique experience in a single day.
The star of the show is the Pulpí Geode, an absolutely exceptional natural site that makes this trip truly special. This isn’t just any visit; it’s a geological marvel recognized as the largest geode open to the public in the world, a space that impresses with the size, purity, and transparency of its gypsum crystals. It’s one of those places that alone justifies the trip and makes this excursion a truly unique experience.
The day begins with a morning departure from Granada towards Pulpí . Once there, the guided tour allows you to explore the area around the Mina Rica mine and discover the geological and mining context of this singular place. The journey to the Pulpí Geode offers a striking and unique experience, marked by the spectacular nature of this one-of-a-kind location.
After the visit, the excursion continues to the Black Room, which completes the mining experience and helps to better understand the singularity of the site. This part of the route adds even more value to the trip, allowing for a deeper understanding of the geological richness and history of the area.
Later, the day continues to MiniHollywood, in the heart of the Tabernas Desert. This stop provides a perfect contrast to the day, as after the underground and mineral section of Pulpí, the excursion opens up to one of the most cinematic landscapes in Andalusia. MiniHollywood is one of the great icons of Westerns filmed in Almería and makes the final part of the tour a visually stunning, fun, and very special experience.
After the visit, the return to Granada completes a very comprehensive excursion in which nature, mining history, and film come together in a single day.
