Tours of Baroque Andalusia
Almeria
ITINERARY: Vélez Rubio- Cuevas del Almanzora - Oria
- Sierra de las Estancias.
Though the town of Almería has a few baroque buildings
of interest (Convents of Santo Domingo and Santa Clara),
as also have Laujar de Andarax, Adra and Paterna del Río,
the route we will take goes through small villages of the
old marquessate of Vélez, owing to their singularity
in Andalusian baroque: churches under the influence of Murcia,
of notable proportions and rich façades, whose volume
can be seen from afar. We refer to the parish churches of Vélez Rubio, Huércal-Olvera, Cuevas
del Almanzora, Zurgena, Albox and Oria. At Tíjola,
one may visit the Hermitage of Los Remedios and at
la Sierra de las Estancias, the monastery of La Virgen
del Saliente, built in the 18th century over a primitive
hermirtage.
