the castle where Almanzor was born and the coastal watch towers of “El Morche” and “Caleceite”. From the Christian times are the Our Lady of the Snow and Saint Roque
hermitages and the impressive Our Lady of the Incarnation church, built on top of the old mosque and rebuilt in the XIXth century. Remains of the Saint Joseph’s hospital (XVIIIth century); as well as the
“Perez” mill and the “Santa Rosa” sugar mill; and the majestic mansions of “La Moneda” (XVIIIth century) and of “La Hoya” (XIXth century), where King Alphonse the XIIth, used to stay, are whitnesses of
an active and eloquent past.
