The present-day village
dates back to the 16th century, though a settlement existed here
prior to this, as witnessed by the Arabic design of its upper district.
Its landscape is a combination of gently undulating agricultural
land and riverside orchards, irrigated by Las Piedras Stream, and
Sierras such as the one bearing the village's name, at whose feet
Valle de Abdalajis stands.
Interesting places to visit include the old inn, considered to
be one of the earliest buildings in the village, the Count of Corbo's
Palace and the parish church.
The excellent prevailing conditions offered by the village have
seen paragliding become a popular activity here in recent years.
