Cájar is geographically located in the AREA known as the Campana Granadina, which in the past referred to the jurisdictional lands of a parish church. La Campana was said to cover the lands where the bell struck from one of the Alhambra Towers (Torre de la Vela) could be heard. According to this, Cájar would come under La Campana, since it is situated between Sierra Nevada and Granada, just 6 km away from the city of the Alhambra.
