From the galleries of Mina Rica to the Mediterranean – Pulpí Geode Tour + San Juan de los Terreros
This tour combines two experiences within the municipality of Pulpí. First, we enter Mina Rica to discover its mining heritage and reach the Giant Pulpí Geode. Afterwards, the day continues to San Juan de los Terreros on the coast, where the scenery changes completely as we discover the castle, the Mediterranean shoreline and the islands just offshore.
The proximity of the different attractions within the municipality makes it possible to combine geological heritage, defensive history and coastal scenery without spending the day on long transfers.
Pulpí Geode Tour + San Juan de los Terreros
Two completely different settings that showcase the geological and coastal richness of eastern Almería.
Giant Pulpí Geode
Located inside Mina Rica, the Pulpí Geode is remarkable for its giant gypsum crystals and is one of Spain’s most unusual geological sites. The visit also explores the former mining galleries and the mining context in which the Geode is located.
San Juan de los Terreros
This coastal village within Pulpí provides the Mediterranean contrast to the day. Its castle overlooks the shoreline from a headland, while Isla de Terreros and Isla Negra, two small volcanic islets, lie just off the coast.
