What to see and do in Alboloduy

Alboloduy
Village
Municipality of 579 inhabitants at 383 m of altitude, in the valley of the río Nacimiento, with part of its municipal area within the Sierra Nevada National and Natural Park. Its name comes from the medieval settlement of Bolodud, the head town of one of the tahas (districts) of the Alpujarra.
Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (Alboloduy)
Monument
Neoclassical church with a Latin-cross floor plan, built between 1792 and 1806.
Ermita de las Ánimas
Monument
Hermitage built in 1955 next to the bridge at the entrance to the village, with a square stone floor plan and larger than most Alpujarra hermitages, in a Basque style unusual for the region. It houses an image of the Blessed Souls in Purgatory.
Pico Galayo y Macizo del Mencal
Nature
The municipal term looks out onto Sierra Nevada through the Sierra de Montenegro (Pico Galayo, 1,715 m) and the Mencal massif, crowned by a cross at 933 m. Part of the municipality (10.64%) lies within the Sierra Nevada National Park, and the Barranco de los Catalanes, where it flows into the Nacimiento River, forms one of the most cherished spots in the area.
Alquería medieval de Bolodud
Historical milestone
The name Alboloduy comes from the Andalusi alquería (rural hamlet) of "Bolodud", which together with the settlement of Las Alcubillas Altas formed the population base of the present-day municipality.
