Ojen Spain property for sale

Ojén, which has a population of 3000 people, retains all the beauty of a classic white inland village despite being easily accessible and nearby Marbella. The Arabic word hoxán, which means "rough" or "bitter," is the source of the term's name. It is strange to describe such a serene and lovely location, and it seems stranger that the Moors would settle in a location they had an apparent antipathy for. However, they did, and like other inland villages during the neolithic period, it was permitted to endure the Christians' embargo on Moors residing too close to the sea following the reconquest. Ojén joined the mob riots in Istán in 1568, a year after they started. The rebels destroyed the church and a few homes before fleeing to the Sierras, murdering several of their Christian neighbors while doing so. The Duke of Medina Sidonia was dispatched by King Philip II to put a stop to the insurrection. Old Christians were granted the area to reside on after the rebels were routed and all Moors were driven from it. This white village is located 650 feet above the Rio Real Valley alongside the Almadán stream and is surrounded by the Sierra Blanca and Alpujata mountains. Given that these mountain ranges have long been regarded as rich sources of talc, nickel, iron, and lead, we may be able to deduce something about the Moors' determination to stay despite their seeming hostility towards their Christian neighbors. Due to this mineral wealth, the Ojén led the 19th-century Spanish industrial revolution.

Around the stunted, nearly undetectable vestiges of the Ojén castle, which formerly dominated the skyline, newer, wealthier homes climb into the hills. The castle obviously did not survive the reconquest, but the community did. Only insects and beetles now inhabit the few remaining stones, which are now dispersed amid weeds and tough grass and hardly worth the hike to view. Properties for sale in Ojén are embraced by the beauty of nature.

Before, Ojén was well-known for a beverage that was a bit stronger than water. The production of aguardiente, a popular anise liqueur used daily by many Spaniards with their morning coffee, contributed significantly to the town's economy. Today the remnants of such history can be captured by a visit to the Wine Museum.
