Karte der städtischen Route von Jubrique (in Spanisch und Englisch)

This publication has been made under the Development Plan to Promote Tourism in the Serrania de Ronda, is bilingual (English and Spanish), and includes at the back a description and a map of the urban routes of the Serrania de Ronda.

The origins of Jubrique are linked to the Arab domination. The name of the village appears to derive from the word “Luber”, meaning “Place of plenty” or perhaps from “Lubar” that means “Place of brightness”. Jubrique, as the rest of the towns in the Serranîa, lived the end times of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada directly depending on the city of Ronda. Once Ronda was conquered in 1485, and above all when the Moriscos (converted Muslims) were expelled in 1570, Jubrique experienced a specially strong depopulation, and even urban areas such as Rotilla, Benamedá and Monarda disappeared.

The first clear references to the city of Jubrique, being called as Jubrique la Nueva (“The New Jubrique”), date from the 18th century. It is a safe supposition to think that this municipality was formed by the union of the four Moorish settlements in a new location, once it was repopulated by Christians coming from outside.

Recomended Walk:

The circular tour around the town starts in Algatocîn street, at the entrance of the village going up from the Genal river. Within the first few metres you will find the first outstanding point, a very nice spot that is a scenic viewpoint of the town. It will enable you to have a general view of Jubrique. Continue straight on uphill in the direction on the Peñón Encantado (“The Charmed Rock”). Go up by the stairs you will find on your left to reach the Argüelles street first, and then, the Cruz street. This street will lead you directly to the Andalucîa square, from where you will come into to the upper part of the town. Carry on by the narrow and steep streets until reaching the supported beam-arches, called by the locals as “La Puente”. This ascent will direct you to Miguel Hernández street, where you will find the Era scenic viewpoint. From here, just enjoy your walk down by the labyrinth streets to return to the start point.
