Key Information

Castillo de La Calahorra and part of La Calahorra

La Calahorra is a municipality, part of the Comarca de Guadix, located in the middle of the Province of Granada, Spain. According to the 2019 census, the town has a population of 673 inhabitants.[2]

Nearby, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, is the Castillo de La Calahorra. Built between 1509 and 1512, it is one of the first Italian Renaissance castles outside Italy.[3]

The town aims to become a site of free-of-light pollution conservation[4] following the nearby Sierra de los Filabres and Sierra Nevada Starlight Foundation[5] certification project.

It is well known, as the setting of the final scenes in the 1974 David Essex film Stardust.

Central Termosolar Andasol, a 150-megawatt CSP plant, is located about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 miles) north of the town.
