The town of Alcudia is located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, on the north side, at 1011 m altitude in the Hoya de Guadix. At his feet lies a populated fertile plain of poplar, fruit and vegetables. The history of the town goes back to a primitive settlement that was sat in the Zalabí, at least in the Argárica time.
