Salares, Archez, Salares,
Sedella, Canillas de Albaida, 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).
The highlight of the village is undoubtedly the minaret of its church,
declared a monument of historical and artistic importance.
