It retains the hallmark
of its Arabic past in its steep, narrow streets of whitewashed houses
with roof which sometimes open to reveal small terraces. However,
the best testimony to its Andalusi-Arabic origins is the Mozarabic
chapel which stands some 500 metres from the village. Other points
of interest are Our Lady's Chapel, the tower at Las Abejas Pass
and, in Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, locations which afford
excellent panoramic views such as Hoyo de las Colmenas, La Caina
Gorge or La Fuente de la Perdiz.
