Montenegro, Spain
This article is about a Cortijada (collection of 'Cortijos' or farmsteads) in Spain. For other places named Montenegro, see Montenegro (disambiguation).

Montenegro is located at 36°57′58″N 3°7′56″W / 36.96611°N 3.13222°W / 36.96611; -3.13222 in Andalucía, Spain; and currently has only 5 adult inhabitants. It is part of the municipality of Alpujarra de la Sierra.

It is on the old GR 7 trading route (now a long-distance footpath) that runs from Algeciras to Greece.

It was once owned by Aben Aboo, the last Moorish King in Spain [1] - successor to Aben Humeya. His possessions were redistributed to the Christian families of Blanco, Medina, Romera, Ruiz and Vela who were from other parts of Spain in 1652.[2]
