Yátor

The village is located at 747 meters above sea level and has 109 inhabitants. Yator is since 1972 a part of the municipality of Cádiar.

Yátor is a picturesque village where we can find several authentic elements. In Yátor still remains a great tinao, a mill and the remains of a mansion. Near the Plaza Mayor, the river elapses between malls whose sound is mixed together with the sound of the fountain at the square dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.

The Arch of Yátor is a medieval arch made of brick masonry and was a irrigation channel. The water ran over the top of the arc up to the mill where the impact of the water moved the mill stones . This arc already existed in Moorish times and is mentioned in 1501 in one of the references they have. Therefore its construction possibly dates back to the late Middle Ages.
