Alicún de Ortega is a village located at the province of Granada, Spain.
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.

What people eat in Andalucía when they eat well.
Tomato, oil and bread, well chilled in summer; every household has its own touch.
From the Andalusian sierras, thinly hand-carved; order the tapa with your wine.
A good share of the world's extra virgin olive oil is made here, and breakfast is bread with it.
Flour, clean oil and a quick fry; a coastal custom that climbs to the sierra.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Alicún de Ortega's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
