Another street which conceals a history is that dedicated to Hernando El Darra. The Morisco rebels had fortified Frigiliana, though the sight of the imperial army with its artillery and armour sowed panic among the inhabitants. El Darra gave orders to his troops to move all supplies to the uppermost part of the twon, and there they also stockpiled rocks, millstones and anything else suitable for hurling down onto their attackers or for reinforcing their defences. Initially, the attack was repulsed but as the battle continued it beccame clear that fortune had deserted the Moriscos. El Darra slipped away, but although there was alarge price on his head, no one betrayed him and he was able to escape to Africa by way of Maro. Later he was pardoned by Felipe II, his possessions were restored to him and he was received at court, after which he returned to his beloved Frixinia.
