Nearby, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, is the Castillo de La Calahorra. Built between 1509 and 1512, it is one of the first Italian Renaissance castles outside Italy.

The town aims to become a site of free-of-light pollution conservation following the nearby Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra Nevada Starlight Foundation certification project.

It is well known, as the setting of the final scenes in the 1974 David Essex film Stardust.

Central Termosolar Andasol, a 150-megawatt CSP plant, is located about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 miles) north of the town.
