Granada
15 canyons.
-
n/aBermejo
In the Alpujarra above Capileira, Bermejo is really two canyons back to back, the short, tight Tajo Cortes feeding into the longer Barranco Bermejo along the river of the same name.

3BChortalesUnknown flood

n/aDurcal
Rarely run and little documented, the Rio Durcal canyon near Granada sees few parties, mostly put off by the punishing two car shuttle its length demands.

n/aGrajoUnknown flood

3CLentejiUnknown flood
-
n/aMagdalena
Two rappels, 25m then 28m, cover most of what Magdalena has to offer; it runs dry outside spring, so timing decides whether the drive to Castril is worth it.
Castril, Granada Unknown flood -
n/aPoqueira
Poqueira drops off the Sierra Nevada through the Alpujarra as a serious grade IV run, deep and fast enough that checking the flow before committing is not optional.
Orgiva, Granada Unknown flood -
3CRinconcilloUnknown flood
-
3ASecoUnknown flood
-
4BTabernillasUnknown flood
-
n/aTrevelez
Trevelez is among the hardest technical descents in the Alpujarra, engorged for much of its length as it drops from above Orgiva, often linked with the neighboring Poqueira.
Orgiva, Granada Unknown flood -
n/aTunez
Tunez runs dry most of the year in Castril's Sierra de Castril park, and only turns into a real canyoneering trip after rain fills the final narrows.
Castril, Granada Unknown flood -
n/aVerde (Granada)
Few Granada canyons hold real flow through summer the way Rio Verde does, stringing six or seven rappels between cold, clear pools below Otivar.
