Here you will find the ancient remains of an arabic wall. One of the most interesting areas in the Villa is the impressive Paraje natural del Karts, where you can see the numerous characteristic formations of marine chalk deposits leaving many chasms and caves of which the Del Tesoro and Del Agua are the most famous.

We return to the road and arrive at Tabernas, a lovely town situated in the arid dessert, an area famous for the many American westerns which have been filmed here over the years. The Paraje Natural del Desierto de Taberna consists of a labyrinth of ravines, gullies and dried out river beds, despite this numerous species of birds have successfully adapted to these difficult climatic conditions.
