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.
