Introduction

The municipality of Bayárcal (317 inhabitants in 2008; 3,700 ha) is located 85 km north-west of Almería, on the border with the Province of Granada. Located in the Sierra Nevada at an elevation of 1,258 m asl, Bayárcal is the highest municipality in the Province of Almería.

Bayárcal was in the Moorish time a strategic village controlling the access to the Ragua Pass, linking the Provinces of Almería and Granada. Moorish remains have been incorporated into subsequent buildings, for instance a Nasrid arch forming the cemetary ossuary and arcades reused in a priovate house. The castle of Yniza was once the seat of a Marquisate.
