With less than 3,000 inhabitants, Yunquera is the most populated town in the Sierra de las Nieves region. This town of white houses is nestled in an incredible mountainous setting dotted with terraces with different crops. One of the biggest attractions in the area is the route of the source of the Rio Grande, also known as the "upwelling of Zarzalones".
