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.
