 - a typical whitewashed village perched on a hillside, with two restaurants, a bank, shops and a small local museum. What makes Moclin so special are the Moors hilltop fortress,( it was in this very area where the Moors made their last stand against the Christians ) and the spectacular views over Granada to the Sierra Nevada. Set in a Natural Park with wonderful walks around the area and with tourism growing in the Granada Province, continuing prosperity is assured for this beautiful part of Spain.

Yet despite these later alterations, it still ranks along with Granada as one of the two most splendid examples of Islamic art and architecture in western Europe.
