Zafarraya has many historic remains and It relies mainly on market garden produce which is grown in the local fields.

The village has an old town with  whitewashed houses and newer development which thankfully is also whitewashed but with a more contemporary aspect. There are squares and parks where you can sit and watch the world go by, local amenities include shops, restaurants, banks etc.

Zafarraya certainly has the feeling of "real" Spain, with hospitable, warm and friendly people.
