A village located
north east of Málaga near the river of Benamargosa
This small village stands on a rock which overlooks the Periana
Corridor and part of the Axarquia mountains to the north, while
the immense Velez Valley and the Sierra de Tejeda are visible in
the south.
Of Arabic origin, its location suggests that it must have been
built as a military vantage point, its layout still conserving the
typical features of fortress villages, its narrow, winding streets
lined with white one or two-storey houses. Places of architectural
interest include the remains of the fortress, Masmullar Hill, the
Arabic cistern and Our Lady's Church, built in Mudejar style.
