El Borge lies 28
kilometres from Malaga and 17 kilometres from the coast at Rincon de la
Victoria, at an altitude of 237 metres. Located within the area of
Axarquia, on the scenic Route of the Raisin, the village has a
population of 1,200.
The village clings to a ravine on the banks of the River Borge which
runs through. Of Moorish origin, it has narrow and stepped streets with
white-washed houses. El Borge is derived from the Arabic name El Burch
(the turret). The village church of Nuestra Seņora del Rosario dates
back to the 16th century and is built in Gothic-Renaissance style.
One of Spain's most famous bandits, the Cross-Eyed Man of El Borge, was
born in the village during the 19th century.
