Peaceful and serene would be some people’s description of a holiday. Riofrio is all that and more and it is located between Granada and Malaga in Andalucía, south of Spain. Conveniently so since this means that it is close to two (2) airports and close enough to any Andalusian tourist attractions.

Fishing

Imagine taking a walk in the countryside or fishing whilst enjoying the ambience of the surroundings. Riofrio offers this calmness to its visitors all through the year. Riofrio is best known for its sturgeon fish farm, which is considered to be the only certified organic farm in the world. The village is very small with just about three hundred (300) occupants but many visitors pass through to take a look at the fish farm and to taste the ever popular Riofrio trout. The fishermen or the always wanted to be fishermen are also welcome to try their hands at catching a trout or two; a fishing permit is required but this can be easily obtained.

The village has fewer than twenty (20) restaurants to which the visitors flock to have a trout meal. The first recorded catch of a trout dates back to the year 1664 and presently the village is said to be selling an estimated 500 000 kilograms of trout on a yearly basis.

Whilst fishing may be the number one tourist attraction, it is certainly not the only attraction applicable to Riofrio; every Sunday morning the market at the centre of Riofrio comes alive with crafts and wares and other miscellaneous items making the morning very interesting and eventful.

Other Beautiful Places
Loja, a town located just about 3.5 km away is well known for the Alcazaba fort which dates back to the Moors period and close by one can explore many limestone caves. The Genil River and its environs serve as a home for birds, plants and animals of various species. The Los Inifernos waterfalls are a direct result of the river eroding the limestone along the river bank and creating spectacular rapids and waterfalls. This is certainly natural beauty at its best.

A vacation at Riofrio allows for a visit to Granada, the home of the Alhambra where one can take a romantic stroll or the Sierra Nevada Mountains where one can ski from January to December. Hiking, horseback riding and cycling are just a few of the activities one can partake in while enjoying a charming holiday at Riofrio.
