Tips from the Community
Fiñana is a perfect base for hikers between the Sierra Nevada and Los Filabres, with easy access via the A-92 and the train station. In the upper town, you can walk along the Moorish route to the Alcazaba and the cistern, and visit the unique Almohad mosque converted into the Hermitage of Our Father Jesus of Nazareth, as well as the Church of the Annunciation. From the village, trails depart to the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and the Nacimiento River valley, with waterfalls and sweeping views. In summer, bring water and a hat; the steep slopes and streets require well-soled shoes.

The village with about 700 inhabitants is situated on the river, in a beautiful place surrounded by large rocks and hills that, together with the white houses of Arab origin in terraces and the orchards, form a beautiful sight. The parish church is worth mentioning.

A few remains from the late Bronze Age (approx. 6th century BC) have been found in the municipality; Roman and Visigothic traces are lacking. It can be assumed that Berbers from the Maghreb were the actual founders of the town in the 8th century. The town was reconquered by the Christians at the end of the 15th century (reconquista), but was briefly given as a fief to the last Emir of Granada, Boabdil. Many Moors from the south of Spain retreated to the remote mountains of the Alpujarras during this period; isolated attempts at final Christianization failed, but after the Moorish uprisings of 1499 to 1501 and 1568 to 1571, the last Muslims were expelled or resettled at the beginning of the 17th century.
