History
The three villages share one town hall (Ayuntamiento), which is situated in Gu�jar Farag�it. This is usually considered the most important of the three villages, and in addition to the town hall and council has an old fortified town that is still well preserved. Known as El Castillejo the walled town is at the top of the hill near Gu�jar Farag�it, and is thought to have been built between the end of the XIII century and the beginning of the XIV, by the Almohads during Moorish rule of Spain. It was the same Almohads � a Muslim dynasty and religious group that ruled the Iberian Peninsula in the 12th Century � who were the first to settle in the valley, building farmhouses and cultivating the land. When Spain was retaken from the Moors by the Catholic Kings, the Gu�jares were divided up as spoils by some of the main lieutenants. Gu�jar Farag�it went to Luis de Portocarrero while Gu�jar Fond�n was given to Don Juan de Ulloa. In later years, following further explusion of the Moors, the farmhouses established in the valley by the Almohads were reduced to the three Gu�jares which remain today.Attractions
In addition to a bakery and fresh fish vans on a daily basis each of the villages has several bars and restaurants including one in Gu�jar Fond�n which serves very good pizzas! Especially popular are the homemade sausages, sun-dried tomato salads, apricots and choto al ajillo (baby goat in garlic sauce) - one of most famous dishes made in the region.Images from Los Guajares
