Montenegro is a cortijada or hamlet part of the municipality of Alpujarra de la Sierra, province of Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It currently has 5 adult inhabitants.

It is located on the GR 7 trading route, which is 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]
