Mirador Cerro de la Horca
From this vantage point, you can see most of the town of Beas de Guadix, with the troglodyte complex, which today forms the Centro de Interpretación del Trogloditismo Algarbes y Camariles, clearly visible on the left. On the opposite side of the Alhama River valley, flanked by the impressive Badlands, also known as Cárcavas, stands the Mirador del Fin del Mundo, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Geopark. The Cerro de la Horca is one of the seven Mozarabic hills of Guadix el Viejo — seven enclaves around the original Guadix where the first Christians lived and continued to practise their religion after the Arab invasion. There is little historical information about the Cerro de la Horca, but it is possible that executions were once carried out on this spot. This would be in line with the origins of other 'Cerros de la Horca'spread throughout Spain, for example in Guadalajara, Toledo, Cádiz and Jaén. It is located on Calle Alta.
