History
Village situated in the last foothills of the Sierra de Gador, in
the west of Almeria. Of deep agricultural tradition, its most
important centres of population are the following: District of La
Gangosa, La Puebla de Vicar, the largest nucleus of the municipal
AREA.
From 1972 onwards its economy and population underwent a notable
increase with the beginning of sand crops and greenhouses. This has
obliged the population to move to the coastal plain. Today it is an
important focal point for immigration from the Alpujarras in
Almeria and Granada.
