Mecina Fondales, merge of three small urban locations: Mecina, Mecinilla and Fondales, located close to the right bank of river Trevélez, forms a part of the municipality of La Tahá. It shares the typical features of all Alpujarra villages, i.e. a distinctive type of architecture in the buildings, adapted to the structure of the irregular land and to the climate of the area, which are arranged in narrow streets where the memory lingers in its Moorish past.

At the heart of the Alpujarra of Granada, the only region in the peninsula, natural step between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, where stand the highest peaks in the Spanish territory, is "natural right" that a place should be known.
