El Acebuchal is a small, picturesque village, often referred to as "the lost village". It is located between Frigiliana and Cómpeta in the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park. After the Spanish Civil War, the village was evacuated in 1948 and remained abandoned for almost 50 years. In the late 1990s, descendants of the original inhabitants began to rebuild the village of El Acebuchal. Today it is a popular destination for rural tourism with whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and a traditional restaurant.

The surrounding area is worth seeing and the secluded location makes for a real break from modern life. The tour is best done via Frigiliana, with a route of around seven kilometers, partly on dirt tracks. El Acebuchal is a unique example of the revitalization of a historic village in Andalusia.
