Hiked January 2025. Start of stairs down dangerous and unsuitable for children. Many stairs work BROKEN or gone. Very sloppy. Signposting route, almost 0. GPS reception possibilities at the bottom limited. Special landscape but there are many nicer walks. We found it disappointing.

The village with about 700 inhabitants is situated on the river, in a beautiful place surrounded by large rocks and hills that, together with the white houses of Arab origin in terraces and the orchards, form a beautiful sight. The parish church is worth mentioning.

A few remains from the late Bronze Age (approx. 6th century BC) have been found in the municipality; Roman and Visigothic traces are lacking. It can be assumed that Berbers from the Maghreb were the actual founders of the town in the 8th century. The town was reconquered by the Christians at the end of the 15th century (reconquista), but was briefly given as a fief to the last Emir of Granada, Boabdil. Many Moors from the south of Spain retreated to the remote mountains of the Alpujarras during this period; isolated attempts at final Christianization failed, but after the Moorish uprisings of 1499 to 1501 and 1568 to 1571, the last Muslims were expelled or resettled at the beginning of the 17th century.
