Instinción is a lovely Alpujarra town. The street layout of the village corresponds to that of a town of Arab origin, also located on a hillside. Therefore, the winding layout of its streets, which are narrow and sometimes steeply sloping, is noteworthy. Several 19th-century bourgeois houses survive in these streets.

In Gador, sulphur processing plants were built. Interesting landscapes with industrial archaeology still bear witness to this activity. Mining activity has now been replaced by cement factories in the beautiful site of Jalvo.

For most of the year it is a dry gorge and a great place to enjoy not only views of the impressive geology (in places the heavy, compressed earth crust hangs sheerly above eroded pillars of earth) but also rare birds such as the 'Hobby' which is only found in this part of Europe.
