The municipality of Pinos Puente (10,718 inhabitants in 2014; 9,188 ha; municipal website) is located 15 km north-west of Granada. The municipality is made of the town of Pinos Puente and of the settlements of Casanueva (1,472 inh.), Zujaira (916 inh.), Trasmulas (210 inh.) and Fuensantas (217 inh.).
Pinos Puente is located on river Pinos, crossed by three bridges (puentes): the bridge of the Virgin, of Visigothic-Muslim origin (11th century), the Railway / Iron bridge, and the road (Granada-Córdoba) bridge.
Casanueva (lit., New House) was first documented in 1472, 20 years before the Christian reconquest, as Dar-Al-Yidid (lit., New House).
Zujaira, also of Arab origin, is famous for its stone quarries established on the site of a Neolithic necropolis.
Trasmulas was a Nasrid estate.
Fuensante is named for the fountain (fuente) near which the village was established in the 1960s, mostly settled by inhabitants from Trasmulas.
