Experience one of the most original excursions you can take from Granada with a sightseeing tour that combines a geological wonder unique in the world, mining history, and the legendary atmosphere of the Tabernas Desert in a single day. This experience departs from and returns to Granada and includes a visit to the Pulpí Geode, the Sala Negra, and a stop at MiniHollywood, one of the most iconic spaces for Western cinema in Andalusia.
The main highlight of the tour is the Pulpí Geode, a truly extraordinary place. It's not just another geological visit, but an exceptional natural enclave that the official website presents as the largest visitable geode in the world. Its value lies not only in its size, but also in the purity, transparency, and spectacular nature of its huge gypsum crystals, which make this visit a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a huge visual impact. In addition, the guided visit to the Mina Rica lasts approximately 120 minutes, which allows you to enjoy the mining environment and admission to this unique space at a leisurely pace.
The day begins with departure from Granada in a private vehicle to Pulpí. From there, the sightseeing tour heads into the surroundings of the Mina Rica to discover one of the most amazing places in European geology. We continue with a visit to the Black Room, which completes the Pulpí mining experience and helps us better understand the uniqueness of the place.
After the visit, the sightseeing tour leaves free time for lunch in Pulpí, enjoying a relaxing break before continuing with the day.
Afterwards, the sightseeing tour continues to MiniHollywood, in the heart of the Tabernas Desert. This stop provides a perfect contrast to the day, because after the underground and mineral part of Pulpí, the tour moves on to one of the most cinematic landscapes in Spain. MiniHollywood is part of the imagery of the westerns filmed in Almería and turns the last part of the day into a visual, fun, and very different experience, marked by the atmosphere of the old towns of Western cinema.
Finally, return to Granada by private vehicle, completing a different, intense, and very attractive excursion, where nature, mining history, and cinema come together in one sightseeing tour.
