Situated to the east
of Velez, on the coast of the Axarquia region, like many other villages
whose municipal AREA stretches down to the sea, it has adapted itself
for coastal tourism, as witnessed by the numerous housing complexes
to be found in Algarrobo-Costa.
However, the village itself still reflects its Axarquia identity,
and relics of its ancient past are still to be found, such as the
Phoenician necropolis at Trayamar, a series of tombs dating back
to the 8th century B.C.
