It passes through three distinct zones \u2013 from the barren treeless karst of the upper valley below the peak of Jarestepar (1427m), through the chestnut plantations around the villages of the upper Genal (stunning around November, when in autumnal colours) to the oak forests of the lower Genal. The real attraction, however, is the white villages \u2013 fifteen of them dotted prominently on both sides of the deep river valley . There are a network of pathways connecting these which make for great walking in stunning landscapes \u2013 usually easy underfoot , but with some savage ascents, particularly if crossing the river between villages! Every village has its charm and attraction, but if one has to single out a few they would be Alpandeire, Parauta and Igualeja (where the source of the river is to be found) in the upper Genal valley and Benalauria, Jubrique and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudhouse.es\/blog\/?p=259\" target=\"_blank\">Genalgaucil<\/a> (a village loved by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudhouse.es\/blog\/?p=232\" target=\"_blank\">artists<\/a>, with sculptures on every street corner), in the lower valley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Extract from River Walks, <a title=\"Genalguacil River Walks\" href=\"http:\/\/www.walkandalucia.com\/areas_the_river_valleys.html\" target=\"_blank\">Walk Andalucia.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also check out the <a title=\"Walking in Andalucia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudhouse.es\/blog\/?p=78\" target=\"_blank\">Benaraba to Genalguacil<\/a> walk which crosses both the Rio Genal &amp; Rio Almarchal, directly passing Cloud House Farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The valley of the river Genal is a real gem.
