Muhammad XII, the last Moorish Sultan of Granada, and his court are said to have crossed this Alpujarras pass after being ejected from Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. Its name comes from the moment when he loudly sighed while looking back and longing for his Granada palaces, and in particular the Alhambra, an act which reportedly moved his mother Aisha to scold him, giving the famous quip "Llora, llora como mujer por lo que no supiste defender como hombre", meaning "Weep, weep like a woman, for that which you have not been able to defend as a man."
