History of Atarfe

According to the authors Amador Díaz García and Manuel Barrios Aguilera, the name Atarfe comes from the Arabic word al-taraf, meaning 'point', which in the Granada dialect would be a- tarf. This is probably in reference to the nearby Castillejo and Tajo Colorao peaks. However, other sources suggest that it originates from the Arabic word artarf, meaning 'boundary', as the boundary of the old city of Elvira was located nearby
