The village of Juviles is located on the south face of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada, on the road descending from Trévelez towards Bérchules and Válor.
The history of Juviles runs in a parallel history to other villages in Alpujarra, an area that due to its geographical isolation, has developed its own characteristic culture.
In the 10th century, the inhabitants of Juviles, protected by its castle, joined the movement against the emirate of Córdoba organised by the leader from Ronda Umar ibn-Hafsum; it was Abderramán III himself, the first caliph of Córdoba, who intervened suffocating the revolt in 913 AD.
