The Poniente Granadino is crossed from East to West by Andalucia's main artery of communication, the A-92 motorway. This road provides easy access to the whole territory, connecting it rapidly to the cities of Granada, Malaga, Sevilla and Cordoba.

As such, the Poniente Granadino can be said to be strategically privileged. With an area of 2,044 km2, the region contains 16 municipalities: Algarinejo, Alhama de Granada, Arena del Rey, Cacin, Huetor-Tajar, Jayena, Illora, Loja, Moclin, Montefrio, Moraleda de Zafayona, Salar, Santa Cruz del Comercio, Villanueva Mesia, Zagra and Zafarraya. It borders the provinces of Jaen to the north, Cordoba to the northeast, and Malaga to the south and west. Its privileged position allows the visitor to reach the cities of Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada, in only a few minutes.

Being a territory which bordered on other provinces, the Poniente Granadino became a strategic site in the defence of the Nazarine Kingdom of Granada, in the final phase of the splendour of Al-Andalus. Moreover, its position meant that the region witnessed the new influences which trickled in from the Christian areas, thereby favouring the cultural enrichment which we can enjoy today. The castles of Loja, Moclin, Illora, Zagra and Montefrio are a reflection of a time dominated by frontier rivalries between two very different cultural and religious traditions: the Hispano-Muslim Culture, and the incipient Renaissance Culture, from both of which magnificent architectural examples survive to this day.
