Hispano Islamico
The greatest influence in todays
village is clearly hispano islamico

Eight centuries of islamic occupation
left their marks in the urban layout,
narrow winding streets, peaceful corners, with the balconies almost touching overhead providing pleasant shade in summer and warm shelter in winter.

christian forces together with Vélez and the Axarquía in the Granada war.

The hamlet of Iznate becomes a mudejar village. The area loses almost its entire population in 1570 during the expulsion of the moors and it took many years to recover.

In 1574 under the noble Pelaez by orders of Philip II 59 families from Estepona, Antequera and other places are offered land and settle in the area.
