Moclinejo: Olivar y Otero
Alonso de Aguilar arrived here on March 19 1483 with 2,700 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers to this depopulated hamlet and decided to burn it to the ground. Muslims, stationed in the castle, looked as their their homes were consumed by flames. In retaliation and revenge, they had no mercy. A shower of rocks and arrows plummeted over the Christian army from the castle. Hundreds of soldiers perished. It due to these inauspicious days of 1483 that the mountains located in the north of Moclinejo were called Hoya de los Muertos and the ridge is called La Cuesta de la Matanza.
