Ogíjares
Ogíjares, on the banks of the river Dílar, is geographically located in the area known as La 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, Ogíjares would come under La Campana, since it is situated between Sierra Nevada and Granada, just 5Km away from the city of the Alhambra.
History
Inhabited since ancient times, the history of this village runs parallel to nearby Granada.
Presently, it has become a residential area of the capital.
