The village of 2, 600 inhabitants, located next to a large limestone promontory known as Pena Ardales, origin of human settlement. Their situation to 350 m. Above sea level gives a pleasant climate in summer, ideal in spring and autumn and something cold in winter. The population was shaping around la Peña and its main buildings provoking long, a very striking vision of a people around a great promontory. "Hardales" was visited in 1564 by the Dutch cartoonist Juris Hoefnagel, a disciple of Dürer, which he dedicated an engraving (published by Philip II in the Book V of Civitatis Orbis Terrarum) which can be seen as characteristic of the population for almost five centuries (Museum). The Plaza de Ardales retains its strong commercial business, it brings together the streets of the historic centre which scatters from the Old City. In one of its corners stands the convent of friars San Sebastian, which housed a community of great influence during the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In the bottom of the Villa is the Municipal Museum next to him and the Centre Cultural Village of Ardales, functional large building that houses the municipal library and a scenic space ready for drama and cultural shows.
