    A very attractive square that is a focal point of the village with the iconic fountain in the centre and orange trees around. Can be busy at night and though there are a few restaurants they can be full. Certainly to be visited if you...More

    Pretty average square

    Nothing special. Not worth a trip out unless you are near by. The fountain is pretty enough but lots of cafes consume all available space covering any other prettiness.

    The pueblo is about 10 minutes drive/taxi from the train station in arroyo de la miel. Cost is around €10 There is a public bus which you can get, which is regular enough, think around €1.80 or so.

    It would cost you about €6-€7 in a taxi. It would take you about 25 minutes to walk there as it is all uphill. It's easier getting a taxi there and walking back especially in the heat.
