El Acebuchal was originally built in the mid-1700s, but archaeological finds from the Iberian culture and Roman and Arab coins indicates that there was a settlement where Acebuchal is now, long before that time.
The daily life of Acebuchal before the Spanish Civil War rotated roughly about the production of charcoal and limestone and husbandry. Moreover, Acebuchal was a meeting point for traveling merchants from the nearby villages; Torrox, Frigiliana and Nerja. They loaded their mules up with fish, vegetables and fruit, which they carried over the mountains to the villages of Fornes & Jallena near Granada. Here they sold or exchanged their products, bringing the flour and other products back.
Acebuchal was the place where the men let the mules rest, while they themselves got a piece of bread and a drink... and of course, exchanged travel experiences.
Acebuchal Today
Funtasma
Almost 50 years passed before somebody returned for anything else but a short visit and a heavy nostalgic feeling at the sight of the ghost-village who had once been their home.
In 1998 the first house was renovated, in 2003 the village had electricity installed and in 2005 the village streets was completely renovated and the same year, on June 25, Acebuchal was re-inaugurated.
It was Antonio el Zumbo and his family who took the initiative and most of the houses have been very carefully renovated in the traditional rustic style. The white village houses are placed close together in the winding cobbled streets. There has been paid the utmost attention to the smallest details to create atmosphere, and everywhere there are flowers and fertile green succulents. Antonio and his family owns half of the village houses, which now can be rented as holiday homes. The new Acebuchal has several small pools, so holidaymakers can enjoy a cool swim.
The area is ideal for hikers, nature lovers, riding horses, writers, painters and those who just love to sit outdoors year round and enjoy the scenic surroundings. However - it only takes a 15 minute scenic drive to reach the village of Frigiliana with many restaurants and shops. Acebuchal is a microscopically small village, or rather a collection of houses situated in a very peaceful, beautiful valley inside the National Park ... surrounded by fragrant pine trees, thyme and rose marin ... and the village is no longer abandoned ... it has been renovated and occupied.
