Main information

The Torre de Agicampe in Granada is located next to the old royal gorge from Loja to Granada. At the top of a small calcareous promontory located at 620 meters above sea level and less than 250 m from the important Agicampe spring. It is located at a linear distance of about 45 km from the Alhambra in Granada, with which it could maintain direct views on clear days.

Agicampe in Granada is part of Huetor-Tajar. It is probable that Huetor derives from the Arab word wadi, meaning “river”, and Tajar from the name of the defensive tower (Tahara, apocope of Taharal), which is still preserved in the village. After the taking of Loja, King Fernando the Catholic named D. Alvaro de Luna alcaide, i.e. the person responsible for the defence of the area. King Charles I granted it the title of Villa in 1526, becoming an independent village in the 19th century.

Huetor-Tajar is a village in Granada province most famous for its green esparagus which are of high quality.
