La Viñuela
The
village is located at the east end of the province of Málaga,
in the middle of the Axarquía, ten kilometres from Vélez-Málaga
and fifty from Málaga. The main population centre arose in
the 16th century from an inn. Two centuries later, in 1764,
it was recognized as an independent village. Although the
youngest of the villages in the region, the site was one of
the first to be inhabited, according to the archaeological
remains found here. The village of La Viñuela bears the same
name as the nearby reservoir, the main water supply for the
city of Málaga and its surroundings. Sites to see are the
church of San José, built in the 16th century, hermitage
Virgen de las Angustias from the 19th century, and
the tower of La Atalaya, used in Moorish times to communicate
with watchtowers along the coast and the castle of Zalia.
The reservoir is a popular site for fishing, swimming and
picnicking.
