The village is located at 709 meters above sea level and has 529 inhabitants (2014). Alicún Ortega has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Important archaeological remains from the Neolithic and Iberian periods have been found. During the Roman period, the town appears as "Acatucci" in the Route of Arles (France). In the village you can visit a beautiful church from the sixteenth century, and although there are not many monuments, Alicún de Ortega is a particularly attractive place to enjoy the beautiful surroundings: walks along the banks of the Guadahortuna, routes through the forest and beautiful landscapes give this small town a peaceful character. It is the only town on the Fardes Route that does not have and never has had cave dwellings.
