Cóbdar is situated within the Filabres mountain range, where many cave engravings and paintings have been discovered, similar to those in Chercos. It has around 140 inhabitants. The town’s name comes from the Arabic qawda, which means ‘high mountain peak’, referring to the white marble hill of La Piedra. Abundant remains from a Neolithic settlement from 3,000 BC have been found in La Cueva del Castillico.
