in the Sierra de Bedar, approximately 15 kilometres from the coast and the resorts of Mojacar and Garrucha.
The Andalusian village affords panoramic views to the surrounding landscape and mountain range, and wonderful examples of early rural architecture, which dates back to the Moorish occupation of the region.
