'''Zafarraya''' is a [[Municipalities of Spain|municipality]] in the [[province of Granada]], Spain, with a population of 2,200 (2003).<br />
<br />
Zafarraya is known for a [[Neanderthal]] [[Human mandible|mandible]] found in a cave (Cueva del Boquete) in 1983 by Cecilio Barroso and Paqui Medina. The mandible has been dated to 30,000 years [[Before Present|Before Present (BP)]], and at the time represented the youngest-known Neanderthal remains.<ref>Hublin J.J., Barroso Ruiz C., Medina Lara P., Fontugne M., Reyss J.-L., 1995 - The Mousterian site of Zafarraya (Granada, Spain): dating and implications on the palaeolithic peopling processes of Western Europe. ''C. R. Acad. Sc. Paris.'' 321 (IIa): 931-937</ref><ref>Hublin J.-J et E.Trinkaus, 1998 - The Mousterian human remains from Zafarraya (Granada, Spain). ''American Journal of Physical Anthropology'' suppl 26 : 122-123</ref> Near the mandible, [[Mousterian]] tools dated to 27,000 years BP were found. The find was one of the first pieces of definite evidence showing that the presence of Neanderthals and [[modern human]]s overlapped in Europe for a significant period.<br />
<br />
During the [[Andalusian earthquake of 25 December 1884]], more than 30% of the houses in Zafarraya collapsed and 53% were badly damaged, some of which fell during aftershocks. <br />
The new church, which was under construction, was destroyed.<br />
25 to 27 people died, 24 sustained serious injuries and 56 had minor injuries.<br />
However, in March 1885 it is reported that there were still 203 patients with traumatic conditions. <br />
The survivors took refuge in the town of Almendrón. <br />
The damage was less than in [[Ventas de Zafarraya]] due to differences in the land: Jurassic limestones in Zafarraya and Quaternary sediments in Ventas de Zafarraya.<ref>{{citation |url=https://www.raco.cat/index.php/AnuariVerdaguer/article/viewFile/262467/349631 |access-date=2019-08-20 |language=es |journal=Anuari Verdaguer |issue=19 |year=2011|page=27 |last=Vidal Sánchez |first=Francisco |title=Terremoto de Alhama de Granada de 1884 y su impacto}}</ref><br />
