About Zahara de la Sierra
The meaning of the name of the village is controversial. It is translated with citrus blossom "azahar", the female first name "Al Zahara" or with the brilliant. In Moorish times, the place was more important because of its strategically important location and was a respected city. The village was revitalized by the Moors in the 8th century and fortified by a castle in the 12th century. In 1483 the Catholic kings conquered the town and cleared the way for further reconquests in Andalusia.
