Garnets in Nijar
Just north-east of Nijar on the west side of the A7 motorway, you
can see several craters of extinct volcanoes. In one of these, you
will find an easy source of fun for children and adults alike - an activity
that we like to call "garnet-hunting". Small garnets have been washed
down by the rains and can be easily spotted on the foot-trails leading into
the centre of the volcano.
How to get there
1. Drive down the A7 motorway towards Almeria until you come
to the exit for Nijar. Straight after the exit, at the beginning of the road to
Nijar there is a break in the wire fencing on the right of the road and
several dirt tracks lead away from the main road in various directions
2. There is one track that heads backwards, parallel with the road.
The next one heads towards a breach in the volcano crater - take this
one)
3. Drive along this track until you get to another track
that runs alongside the volcano crater. Turn right along this track, until
you come to a white hut with a domed roof.
4. It is already possible to spot small garnets directly where you
park the car, but if you follow the valley, you will find many more...
