Laroya is an Arabic word that means pot. This name involves the town’s location, which is in a hollow between mountain ranges, crossed by the river of the same name. Traditionally, the town has survived thanks to agriculture and the extraction of marble, although more recently its inhabitants have taken advantage of the natural beauties it possesses to develop rural tourism with great success.

In its surroundings are multiple rural accommodations that offer services for the comfort of visitors. Its paths and trails are ideal for nature lovers to take walks, ride bikes and engage in all kinds of outdoor activities. Its cultural traditions, popular festivals and typical gastronomy are other attractions offered to tourists who choose it as a destination and want to discover this corner of the Almanzora Valley.
