Calle la Fuente, Cutar, Málaga
This is the main artery of the municipality, running through it from one end to the other, where most of the other streets end, serving as a boundary between the upper and lower districts. It receives its name because it is the road that leads to the Arab Fountain. The pavement is made of pebbles, brick and marble, drawing geometric shapes on the ground.
Cútar, Málaga
The term "Monfí" refers to the Muslims who, during the forced conversions, abandoned their homes and took refuge in the sierras, becoming outlaws. In Cútar, the Arab and Moorish origins have left a deep imprint, which has been documented in ancient manuscripts found in the village.
These texts, which include a book of trades of the Alfaquí and other personal documents, offer a fascinating insight into life at the time, with details on magic, astronomy, and popular customs. The Monfí Museum in Cútar houses a collection of pieces related to Arab culture, especially focusing on the local history of the Axarquía and the municipality of Cútar.
