In the Islamic era, it was known as ‘Hisn-Laqoon’ - ‘the fort of Luqun’ (Alicun), an strategic outpost of the sub-region of Guadix in the Emirate of Granada. In the year 836 Hijri of the Islamic calendar or 1433 Gregorian, it was captured by the forces of Castile, a regretful loss as recorded in the poetry of the 15th century scholar Abdul Kareem Al-Basti (of Baza). According to the 2005 census (INE), it has a population of 563 inhabitants.

Data from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), extract from October 2026: we count what is mapped within the municipal boundary. "No data" means OpenStreetMap doesn't have it, not that it doesn't exist. Completed with Overture Maps (CDLA-Permissive-2.0): the pharmacies, health centres, petrol stations, banks, cash machines, food shops and schools that OpenStreetMap was missing. Town hall contact details: General Database of Local Entities (Spanish Ministry of Finance); tourist offices: each region's open registry, where it publishes one.
