Location: White Washed Pueblo, Close to Coast, Population c40.
Nearest Town: Albunol (see below).
Although it presumably has a Roman origin, the town's
splendour was under the Moorish, when Albuñol was the most important town of
great Cehel or 'great coast'. During those centuries, the castle of La Rabita
defended it. In the 16th century, Luis Zapata Portocarrero bought the town from
the royal family, from Queen Juana known as Juana the Mad, and then was awarded
with the title of the town. After the Moriscos expelling in 1570, the Alpujarra
area started to get populated by Castilians, Galicians and people from Leon, but
this did not happen in Albuñol until the 17th century. In 1834 it became a
county seat with the same name; the office is in Motril today.
Albuñol already existed in the Neolithic, as the
archaeological remains of Los Murciélagos cave prove. The fact that it is
between two Phoenician colonies, Adra and Almuñecar, justifies that Albuñol
was strongly influenced by the Phoenicians and then the Arabs, although under a
different name.
In 1490, the population was 300 and the income was 340
maravedies.
In 1505, Mr. Luis de Zapata bought the estate of Albuñol
from Queen Juana the Mad, the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs.
