Arboretum La Alfaguara

View of the Arboretum de la Alfaguara

The Arboretum La Alfaguara was formerly a tree nursery in the Sierra de la Alfaguara, in Alfacar near Granada in Spain.[1][2] It contains samples of many of the trees that are scattered throughout the Sierra and the surrounding mountain ranges.

The whole Sierra has been classified as the "Parque Natural Sierra de Huétor". Next to the Arboretum is an entertainment area aimed at schoolchildren in the province of Granada and in Andalusia as a whole. The Arboretum and entertainment area are administered by the Ministry of Environment of the Junta de Andalucía. The Arboretum lies on the GR-3103 road about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the town of Granada, and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from Alfacar.

A forest trail starting from Fuente Grande also leads into the Sierra de Huétor.
