Benarrabá

Highlight • Settlement

Benarrabá is a beautiful white town with less than 500 inhabitants located in the heart of the Genal valley. As can be deduced from the name, this town is of Berber origin and its name means "Children of Rabbah". Formerly there was a castle-watchtower on the top of Mount Porón, in the vicinity of Benarrabá, so this place was a strategic point of observation and defense of the valley.

Turnoff to the Asalto del Cura viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Right at this point there is a detour of about 500 meters to the Asalto del Cura viewpoint, from which you can see the Sierra Crestellina and Los Reales de Genalguacil. This place is famous because it was, during the 18th century, a hideout for numerous bandits and thieves. They came here as a remote and safe place to hide.
