History

Salar is the site of a Roman villa on the western slope of the Genil basin (near the route of the new AVE line to Granada). Since its discovery in 2004, the villa has been partly excavated and has attracted thousands of visitors.[2] In 2026, work on the site had to be postponed because of bad weather.[3]
