Image of Aspe, not of the place itself.

The Andalusi settlement known as Aspe el Viejo occupied a hill above the river Tarafa and was abandoned in the thirteenth century, when the population came down to the plain to form the present centre. It preserves remains of dwellings, cisterns and the layout of narrow streets.
