About the City

Natural pool Charco del Canalón provides refreshing swimming in mountain setting. Narrow streets, flower-filled balconies, and traditional architecture maintain authentic Andalusian character. Excellent hiking trails through chestnut forests and mountains. Small local community maintains traditions, festivals, and genuine Spanish atmosphere.
