Church of Saint Mary La Mayor (Padules - Almeria)
 
This is a small Mudejar church that was originally constructed in the first half of the 16th century, but it was rebuilt at the end of the century after the destruction caused by the Moorish rebellion in 1568.

The greater chapel was crudely rebuilt before its ruin at the end of the 19th century. This was possibly caused by the effects of an earthquake.

This is one of the most captivating natural sites in the province of Almeria.

Padules means "small lagoons", which gives you an idea of what you are going to find here: a network of gorges and lagoons that emerge from the rock eroded by the Andarax river. The path requires barefoot, or getting into the water with proper shoes, where spectacular natural pools have been created that invite you to spend a day in full contact with nature.
