Introduction :
|
|
The municipality of Yunquera has the privilege of not only forming part of the Natural Park of the Sierra de las Nieves, but also of the Biosphere Reserve of the Sierra de las Nieves and its surroundings, which has recently been declared by the International Comitee Programme MAB of the UNESCO.

|
History:
|
|
As Yunquera is situated in one of the only two passages which allow the crossing of the western mountains of the Ronda highland, and aswell as this, disposing of abundant water from the sierra’s springs, it is not strange that man’s presence in these lands comes from long ago, as proven by the prehistoric sites in the nearby valley of Jorox in the municipality which is adjacent to Alozaina.

Places to Visit:
|
|
At half a kilometre from the town, on a hill, is the Arabic chapel, the best conserved testimony of Yunquera’s past. From the Roman era there are only two bridges on the way to Ronda.
