Guided Laroya hike explores Sierra de los Filabres mountain scenery

On Sunday, October 25, Almeria’s Municipal Sports Board is organizing a guided hike through Laroya, an area in the Sierra de los Filabres mountains. Limited to 50 participants, the excursion will take hikers through forests, traditional rural settlements, and mountain landscapes before reaching Pena de Juan Felipe, a peak standing at 1,556 meters above sea level.

The Sendero Laroya route begins in Laroya, situated at an altitude of around 850 meters, and traverses sites such as El Reul Alto, Fuente del Reul, El Cortijico, and Loma de Liria before ascending to the summit. From this vantage point, hikers can enjoy panoramic views of Tetica de Bacares, Sierra de Maria, La Sagra, and the Almanzora Valley.

This hike is part of the Municipal Sports Board’s 2026 nature and hiking program, which features walking routes in Almeria and surrounding regions. Interested individuals should register promptly, as spaces are allocated in the order of registration and the program has a limited capacity of 50 participants. Registration can be done through the PMD Almeria app or the Municipal Sports Board’s online service, or in person at the Patronato Municipal de Deportes offices located in the Palacio de los Juegos Mediterraneos.

This guided hike offers locals and visitors alike the chance to experience the diverse landscapes of Almeria’s interior as part of the municipality’s ongoing series of organized outdoor activities.
