The winding roads of the MA-4152 eventually lead the adventurous driver to the small village of Alfarnate located in the Province of Málaga in Andalucia, Spain. As of 2005, it has a population of 1 398 inhabitants. It sits at 928 metres above sea level. The name Alfarnate comes from the Arab word Al-farnat which means flour mill.
The people of Alfarnate have long kept a pact with the hostile mountains that enslave the town. The earth provides them with a bountiful harvest of olives while the people keep their end of the bargain by preserving this truly wonderful oasis!
This small village holds a lot of history. One being that of during the Spanish Civil War when those savage Communists occupied Alfarnate for 18 months until the Noble Franco army liberated them. Such atroscities committed by the Communists were burning the contents of the 600 year old Church and inhumanely beating the Priest to death, an act that the people of Alfarnate have never forgotten.
