About Granada Other

Loja, the city that historically has determined the interior communication between Granada and Malaga, is the head of the Western County, due to its millenarian history and great monumental wealth, as much as by its number of inhabitants and the great territorial extension of its district.

It is located in the narrow and delicious valley that the Genil river forms when opening it pass between the Gorda Mountain range and Monte Hacho, it conserves abundant archaeological vestiges of the Bronze Age and Muslim time, among which appear the rests of its medieval fortress and the fortified enclosure that surrounded its old Arabic-Andalusian medina.

A historian of that time described thus Loja: "It is rustic and colourful, being constructed in the skirt of an arid mountain. The ruins of an Arab fortress crown a rocky knoll that arises in the city centre. The Genil river bathes its foot... ".

It can be understood why Loja was “gate and key of the Granada’s kingdom” for the Catholic Kings. The Arab name of Loja, Medina Lauxa ("the Guardian City "), talks of its enormous strategic importance and the important military role played during the Christian conquest of the Kingdom of Granada. Of the love that Fernando and Isabel had to it after its fall, occurred in 1486 after three days of siege, it speaks clearly the coat of arms that the King of Aragon commanded to grant it: a gold castle over a silver bridge with the enrolled legend of "flower between thorns".

The water filtered in the Loja Mountain range, to the margin of the channel of the Genil, makes bring forth numerous springs in centennial fountains, always cool. The abundance of water is also noticed in the spectacular place of Los Infiernos, with its deep gorge and always green cascades.

Loja has numerous tourist attractions. Aside from its historical and monumental patrimony, the Loja Mountain range offers routes and footpaths by rustic and surprising landscapes, like the Charco del Negro. Its surrounding area has as well suitable conditions for the practice of the free fall, having an ideal point of takeoff in the Station of Freefall of Loja, whereas it has the landing area in the plains of the Venta del Rayo as a suitable space.

 

Gastronomy

Loja, which already was presented by al-Idrisi as an important communication centre, has known to maintain and to take care of a good amount of uses and traditions. It would be necessary to emphasize those of gastronomically order: sobreusa of habas, remojón of orange, porra, gazpacho and famous twisted rolls and huesos de santo. The popular cuisine and the more elaborated cuisine arts coexist in the gastronomically supply of Loja. It is necessary to indicate the importance of the trout that has its particular paradise in Riofrío link with the recent commercialization of the sturgeon and its caviar of beluga quality.
