The municipality's history is similar to that of other towns in the Alpujarra region, which has always developed its own distinct culture due to its geographical isolation. This culture reached its zenith during the Andalusian period, when the entire Alpujarra was an important agricultural emporium specialising in silk production.
The first records of Albondón date back to the Andalusian period, when it flourished due to its dry climate, which made it possible to exploit its lands. The area covered by the municipality contains vestiges of Cave Culture, including important archaeological sites such as the Cueva de las Campanas and the Sima de Los Intentos. In addition to interesting karstic relief, numerous Neolithic artefacts were found here, which are now on display at the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Granada.
The primitive church from the 17th century was destroyed by the Moors during the Rebellion of Las Alpujarras. During this rebellion, the Moors entered the church during midnight mass.
Popular festivals in Albondón are Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, Día de Andalucia, Semana Santa, Romería de San Isidro and Fiestas Mayores de San Luis Rey de Francia.
It is a large containment dam on the Chico River with a fall of about 30 metres. Built from metamorphic rock masonry and located between Cañar and Soportújar, it is well worth a visit for the magnificent views of the landscape it offers.
Built by Christians at the beginning of the sixteenth century on the site of a Muslim hermitage, the monument consists of a central nave and a main chapel, which are separated by a large arch. There is a roof for each section. The monument suffered during the Alpujarras War between 1568 and 1571, when it was destroyed and burned by the Moors. It was repaired in 1594, but was not structurally sound, so its framework was rebuilt in 1629.
There is a bus service from Bérchules to Granada using the local bus company.
Construction of the church began on 12 June 1735 with the laying of the foundation stone. The townspeople chose to name the church after the Santísimo Cristo de la Salud and the town's patron saint, Louis IX, King of France.
At the beginning of the Muslim occupation, Cáñar was known as Gebel, and with the administrative division of La Alpujarra it was included within the Taha de Órgiva. After the conquest of Granada and falling into Christian hands, the population was gradually subjected to a pressure that became intolerable. This was followed by the insurrection, led by Abén Humeya.
This chapel is located in the Sierra de Bérchules, specifically in an area known to the municipality's inhabitants as Cortes or Cortijo del Cura.
Popular festivals in Bérchules are Santo Cristo de la Misericordia, San Pantaleón, Fiesta de San Marcos, Semana Santa and Romería de San Isidro.
