Moclín was the last frontier of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and the protagonist of one of the decisive battles in which King Boabdil lost the Alhambra and went into exile in North Africa. Its citadel or castle is one of the most significant monuments of the town, but by no means the only one.

Moclín is a charming destination, ideal for those who enjoy history, nature, and panoramic views.
It's a typical Andalusian white village, peaceful and with cobbled streets that preserve its traditional essence.
It stands out for its historical heritage (Nasrid castle, hermitages) and its natural surroundings, perfect for hiking.
