What to see in Laroya
Church of St. Raymond Nonnatus
The Church of St. Raymond Nonnatus was built in the 16th century, almost completely with red bricks that were manufactured in the area, specifically in the vicinity of the bed of the Tejera river. These bricks bring a bit of darkness to the construction, but at the same time it gives it an imposing and elegant look.
Its construction was ordered by the Marquis of Los Velez, Don Luis Fajardo de la Cueva, a very religious man who also ordered the construction of other churches throughout the province of Almeria.

The “Charcón del Buey”
One of the most important and emblematic sites of Laroya is the “Charcón del Buey”.
It is a place that seems to come from a fairy tale, and it delights visitors who love nature and landscaping. It is blessed with a waterfall, which belonged to the tributaries of the Almanzora river, which exceeds ten meters in height.
Its valleys and steep slopes, as well as the waterfalls along the promenade, make it an ideal place for hiking and other adventure sports such as climbing and rappelling.
