Description
This little village surrounded by green gardens, walnuts and pines is a spring in itself. At least twenty births of water can be found, making the rumor of the waterfalls, fountains and jets almost constant as they walk through it. In its streets you will discover loaves of bread, almazaras, mills, public laundry. An important sample of ethnic heritage that has allowed many generations to survive in this beautiful, though hard, landscape.
The first written data of Miller dates back to the 12th century, when the Arabs occupied these lands. Since then there has been an intense rural life here, which has been providing various vestiges and constructions. Although it is known that our species walked through these places already at the bronze age.
In the village there was a strong house or castle from which a three-storey tower and a forty-meter long wall by six height are still preserved. It was built by the Arabs to defend itself from the Alphavars in the 12th century. The people of Miller have taken advantage of their structure to build houses or corrals around it.
Life in the villages was made possible by the participation of all the inhabitants in community work and tasks. Not only in terms of basic food and water infrastructure; Miller's church, for example, was built by the villagers themselves in 1857.
