Restábal is located at the foot of a hill called the Cerro de los Canjorros and from its bridge you can enjoy some fantastic views over the Río Torrente. From the pretty white houses of the town centre you can see over Melegís and Saleres and the orange and lemon groves that stretch out into the middle of the Valle de Lecrín.
Although there are many beautiful natural areas worth mentioning around Restábal, we have picked out three particularly special ones. The first is a ravine called Barranco de Alos, with its cavernous limestone areas dug out by the waters and the ancient carob tree that stands nearby. The second is an area which extends around the banks of the Embalse de Béznar reservoir near the Cortijo de Budas. You reach it by taking a path through the orange and olive trees. The third is the hill of Loma del Calvario, from where you can get some stunning panoramic views over the village and the whole valley.
