What does alfacar mean?
- Alfacar
- Alfacar is an historic town approximately 8 kilometres from the city of Granada, in the autonomous Spanish region of Andalucia. In the 2005 census, INE reported its population as 5107 inhabitants. The town is on the edge of the Sierra de Huétor Natural Park and is in a region of intensive olive production. The town is 920 metres above sea level, but the local fossil record contains marine molluscs that show the profound geological forces that have shaped the region. The area has been occupied by humans since prehistory. A very important neolithic site - la Barranca de Las Majolicas - is within the town, and human remains, decorated ceramics, and bone tools and ornaments have been found there. Between 711 and 1492AD, most of Spain was governed by a series of Moslem dynasties and monarchs. We do not fully understand the origins of the name Alfacar, but in this era the Arabic name "al-Fajjar" was first applied to the settlement. The town was a summer retreat for the Moslem Zirite Kings. There are few visible architectural relics from this time.
