South of Granada, on the road that links Motril and the coast with the city of the Alhambra, at 860 m above sea level, lies the port called Suspiro del Moro; from here and towards the coast opens up the Lecrí­n Valley, which borders the west face of Sierra Nevada and which has as a natural frontier to the south, the Sierra de lo Guájares mountain range. The area has its own micro climate, tempered good winds giving rise to landscapes of serene beauty where thriving Mediterranean crops.

In this valley is El Pinar, in which municipal are included, such as memory of what happened in the Arab tahas, the villages of: Pinos del Valle e Izbor.
