The first Protestant cemetery in Spain, laid out on municipal land beside the Vélez road under a Royal Order of Ferdinand VII of 1830 and built from 1831, so that non-Catholics no longer had to be buried at night on the beach. It was conceived as a botanical garden in terraces facing the sea, and the Gothic Revival gatehouse at the entrance is dated 1856. Its graves include those of Robert Boyd, Gerald Brenan and Jorge Guillén.
