Canillas de Albaida,
Salares, Sedella, Archez, Canillas de Aceituno, Competa, all villages
which stand at the foot of the impressive Tejeda and Almijara Sierras;
all morisco (Moorish convert to Christianity) villages, where vines
were the main crop and are still an important element in the landscape
as well as the economy; all display similar characteristics, reflecting
the true essence of the Axarquia region, its scenery, its way of
life and its history.
The layout of their streets and the architecture of their whitewashed
houses, which create unforgettably-picturesque corners, gives them
a unique seal of identity, so much so that, together, they make
up what is known as the Mudejar Route (Ruta del Mudéjar).
Canillas de Albaida, located atop a hill, overlooks banked slopes
of rich vegetable gardens which together with the village itself
create an attractive panorama in which Our Lady's Church is the
highlight.
Worthy of note in its natural surroundings is a spot known as La
Fabrica, ideal for camping, hiking and cycling trips.
