About

• "Balcón de la Axarquía" (Balcony of the Axarquía) — a whitewashed Moorish village at 700 m
• Plaza Balcón de la Axarquía: wide views over 11 villages and the Mediterranean
• Self-guided route of ceramic "footprints"
• Longest zip line in Spain with natural anchoring (a1: 436 m)

Good to know

• Park for free on the esplanade at the entrance: the village streets are not for cars
• For lunch, the village classics are the Molino de los Abuelos (on the square) and the Hotel Restaurante Atalaya; book at both at weekends
• Use engine braking on the way down: the road has tight bends
• If you want to try the zip line, book first: on weekdays they require a minimum group size
