Basket in hand and eyes on the ground, up in the hills. That is how Sunday 15 November will be spent by those who sign up for Bayarque’s 11th Jornada Micológica (Mushroom Day), the event with which this small Almanzora village once again opens its hills to mushroom enthusiasts.
It is organised by Bayarque Town Council, and Almería Provincial Council also appears on its poster. And eleven editions are no small thing for a municipality of 215 residents, according to the padrón (municipal register) figures from the INE, Spain’s National Statistics Institute, as of 1 January 2025: events like this one, as well as being a good autumn outing, are a way of showcasing the hills and attracting visitors to the smallest villages in the Valley.
The educational part will be led by Dr Alonso Verde López, a graduate in Biology with a doctorate in Biological Sciences, who will be the speaker for the day.
