This town was the capital of the Nasrid taha of the same name and had a flourishing weaving industry (in La Alpujarra a lot of mulberry was cultivated to feed the silkworms).

About her, a Swiss once wrote:
"Ugíjar will provide an ineffable memory to those who love and understand the language of stones, of houses steeped in history and of the town that carries in its soul the nostalgia of an almost fabled past".
