a secular town of Spain, in the province of Granada, and bishopric of Malaga. It is situated south of Ronda and of Benestepar, on the right bank of the Genal, eight miles from Casares, four from Jubrique, and is surrounded with hills and vineyards. The site is cheerful and picturesque, but the town is not well built, the houses being generally small, and the streets ill-paved. uneven, and dirty. The parish church is modern, handsome, and consists of three naves; besides, there are a town-house, a primary school, and a miserable prison. There are also mineral springs; brick and tile works; many distilleries; several flour and oil mills; and a good trade in wine. The population is nearly 2000.
