At present, the village has about 300 inhabitants, because it never recovered from two natural disasters that occurred at the end of the 19th century: the phylloxera plague, a disease that affected the vineyards, and a strong earthquake, which badly affected the economy and made many people emigrate.
It is located at an altitude of 632 metres (2,073 ft), which results in great views in all directions, including views of the Mediterranean Sea. Corumbela has landscapes in which you can fully enjoy the splendor of nature, since it is right beside the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park.
