These two secluded, little known hamlets in the Axarquia are situated 40 kilometres
to the east of Malaga and just 14 kilometres from the coast at Torre del Mar.
Set at an altitude of 450 metres in a lush green valley, this community is surrounded by olive and
almond groves, vineyards and tropical fruit planations. Between them these hamlets have a population of about 60.
The origins of the community is unknown but one theory is that they may have been founded by people
fleeing pirate attacks on the coast.
