The neighborhood of Monachil
The Barrio de la Vega (or Barrio de Monachil) originated in the mid-twentieth century as a residential area separated a couple of kilometers from the original village. With west orientation, it has unbeatable views to the fertile plain of Granada and from its highest area are born the first pine forests of the mid-mountains of Nevada. Today it is an independent nucleus, larger than the original village, with all the necessary services and some of the best restaurants in the municipality.
