    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.

    Hiking

    Nice circular route around the small village of Acebuchal. You should urgently choose to travel to the start via Frigiliana! Don't try Competa. There's nothing without all-wheel drive. When you have arrived it goes straight up through a narrow mountain gorge. Sturdy shoes and a sure step are required for this round. The way back is relaxed via paved paths. Have fun

    Very nice village with exceptional gastronomy and the great "Tienda Chica" by Antonio.
