Located opposite the town hall on the main plaza just on the corner. During the summer months the tables are out on the street and on the pavement near the fountain.

Taco del Fraile - Retamar - Simon Chapman - Wikiloc. It's a great walk, but you are climbing at times. The accent to the peak is steep, and there is one part where you have to pull yourself up with your hands, but there are no dangerous drops. The descent from the peak is also slow, due to the rocks. All in all, it's a very picturesque walk with panoramic views from the peak.

Church of Our Lady of Grace, built in the 16th century.
Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Gracia
2 C. de la Iglesia
Church of Our Lady of Grace, built in the 16th century.
It was built at the end of the 17th century and documented since July 1681. It is a curious building located within the urban area, erected on a single nave covered by a barrel vault with richly decorated lunettes. The main chapel has a square base with a groin vault enclosure, in front of the choir with wooden balusters. Perhaps the most notable is the Camarín de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, an authentic baroque architectural jewel. The chapel dates from the first half of the 18th century, and is related to the architecture of the sacristy of the Cartuja de Granada and works by Priego de Córdoba. Open on Sunday mornings
