At the El Dornajo Visitor Center we represent the link between all the areas that make up Sierra Nevada. We are prepared to guide you on its urban and natural geography, its history, heritage, customs in disuse or those that still survive today, and especially on the animal and plant species that have found the perfect habitat here.
For this we work in several blocks:
- With guided tours: the first one takes place inside our facilities where you can take a look at the permanent exhibitions. Passing through our doors we will take tours of the Dornajo, the botanical garden that is located in Hoya de Pedraza or that of La Cortejuela.
- With excursions through the spaces that make up Sierra Nevada: we will meet unavoidable appointments, such as the ascent to Mulhacen, or we will look at the plants and insects that live in peaks and valleys.
- With ornithological outings: designed to observe the adaptation of birds to ecosystems that change depending on the altitude at which we are. We will complement them with workshops that will give us a more precise vision of all of them.

Carretera Sierra Nevada, km 23 Guejar Sierra
You will get to the El Dornajo Visitor Center by taking the Granada ring road on the A-44. Access by exit number 132 that goes to Ronda Sur-Alhambra-Sierra Nevada. Continue on the A-395 and go through the Serrallo tunnel. We advise you to use the right lane to detour onto the A-395, Sierra Nevada road. We are at km 23. You will see indicative signs before.
At the El Dornajo Visitor Center we welcome you from Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to enter the protected area of Sierra Nevada.
Our facilities intend to give you a tourist alternative since our visitors escape traditional experiences, getting closer to our heritage through the characters that have marked the past of the area.
The ethnographic tour that can be followed in the exhibition passes through areas of immense influence for the population such as agriculture, mining operations and the different thermal and mineral waters. We make a stop to learn about the process to create snowfields and move forward in time following the route of the first tram that crossed Sierra Nevada in the 19th century.
In addition to the guided tour that takes place inside the facilities, we start from our doors to follow the Sulayr trail. This circular itinerary serves as a connection to the provinces of Granada and Almería from the mountains and we can get to know it in any of the almost twenty stages that make it up.
For those who wish, the El Dornajo Visitor Center has a cafeteria and souvenir shop from Sierra Nevada, maps, books, guides, T-shirts, etc.
