A beautiful and flowery town in La Axarquía that lived through some bloody events at the beginning of the 20th century. The town rebelled against a possible electoral fraud that resulted in many injuries and arrests, as well as the death of a civil guard whose head rolled throughout the town and ended up in the river, never being found and turning the story into legend.
