This old ruins seems to have been a small fortress, which, nestled in an exceptional viewpoint, allowed the intercommunication of all the towers and castles in the lower part of the Almanzora Valley. 18 Ruins Huercal la Vieja
It was probably a "rábita", a kind of Muslim hermitage or monastery, where religious men (marabouts) prayed and performed defensive and support functions for the traveler, who was heading towards the Estancias, Lorca or the Guadalentin.
This is a good place to rest and enjoy the views that open towards the riverbed of the Almanzora River and the reservoir of Cuevas Reservoir.
