History of Nívar

Güevéjar

With its long history of being hit by two earthquakes, Güevéjar is the very definition of survival. The first, the famous Lisbon earthquake of 1755, destroyed much of the village, while the second, in 1884, was even more devastating. It opened cracks in the ground so big that the authorities were advised not to rebuild the village. Consequently, Güevéjar relocated to the Sierra de la Yedra, as the terrain there is safer and firmer. The village has a population of around 2,200.

Ermita de la Virgen de las Angustias

The chronicles mention a chapel located next to the Barranco de la Fuente Agria as early as the eighteenth century. The chapel has undergone several renovations. Rebuilt in the 1970s, it now has a very simple appearance and stands out for its sobriety in the Fuente Agria Natural Site, surrounded by centuries-old chestnut trees and with a spring at its feet. It is located off the A-4132.
