Jorox

Its place name suggests that Jorox was a Moorish settlement, well placed on a flat knoll but still a well-defended site. Three of its sides have steep banks leading down to the mountain streams, which until the 1970s powered numerous mills. The large Moorish village of Tolox is only four kilometres to the south and therefore is seems likely that the two communities had more contact with each other, rather than with Alozaina whose municipal district it is lies within today.
