Presentation of Faraján

The municipality of Faraján (265 inhabitants in 2015; 2,041 ha; municipal website) is located 120 km west of Málaga.

Faraján was first documented in the Moorish times, as Farrajan, in Arab, "a delicious place". The Moors cohabited with captured Jews and Christians in small estates, such as Albalaxtear, Chucar, Cenajen, and Castillejo.
After the Christian reconquest of Ronda, the estates were suppressed while their inhabitants were transferred to Faraján, a Royal town depending on Ronda. In the 16th century, the village, deserted after the expelling of the Moriscos, was resettled by Christians colonists.
Faraján was granted in 1814 the status of villa by Ferdinand VII, as a reward for "loyalty, constancy and sacrifice exhibited during the War of Independence against the French".
