There, the king, who once sat on the throne of one of the modern wonders of the world, spent his days alongside the beautiful Zoraya and the children they had together. It is said that he was always sad, locked himself in the highest tower of the Alcazaba, and stared at the sky. The only thing that could comfort him was the stories Zoraya told him about the region.
As his end neared, he asked Zoraya to bury him where no one would ever find him. Zoraya fulfilled Muley Hacén's wish and buried him in the snow of the highest mountain. Since that day, the peak has borne the name of this great king.
