At the foot of the Sierra de los Filabres, looking towards the Almanzora basin, is this small farming and livestock town. Before the Moorish revolts of 1568, the economic activity of Bayarque was based on obtaining silk, dry and irrigated agriculture, olive trees and vineyards. In the 19th century and until the middle of the 20th there was some mining activity but finally the town gradually became depopulated.

This small urban center is located in the foothills of the Sierra de los Filabres and offers an impressive landscape. Its plain watered by the Bacares River and the surrounding mountains make up a quiet and secluded environment. The history of Bayarque is linked to mining and agriculture, and its culture and gastronomy are part of its charm.

If you ever visit Bayarque, you can enjoy its natural beauty and immerse yourself in its history and traditions. 🌿🏞️
