a small city of the province of Granada, in Spain. The soil around it is productive of all the tropical vegetables. Sugar-canes grow as large and as juicy as in the West Indies, the cotton is of excellent quality, and the rum made here is deemed equal to that of Jamaica. The anchorage is fit for small vessels only, and its exposure to gales from the east, which are frequent, renders it insecure. It contains 5000 inhabitants. Long. 3° 54'. W. Lat. 36° 42'. N.
