Alomartes, is a dependent village of the municipality of Íllora, which is located at the foothills on the mountain range of Parapanda, being one of the series of villages in the Poniente Granadino (west side of Granada). Alomartes is becoming a popular tourist reference point thanks to the characteristics of its location.

The monumental richness in the village centre is enhanced further by its scenic surroundings. From the road linking Íllora to Montefrí­o one can access the Peña de los Gitanos, a nature spot whose northern most point terminates a vast valley, and on the south, borders the Sierra de Parapanda. The Peñas, rock formation that run parallel to the valley, offer spectacular calcareous scenery tracing an abundant vegetation of Holm oak forests and scrub land making it an ideal place to go hill walking due to the large number of available paths. There are also outstanding Megalithic formations consisting of hundreds of dolmens of Neolithic origin.
