Salobreña is a city along the south Spanish coast between Almería and Malaga, which in Dati's day were all part of the Nasrid emirate of Granada. Note that Salobreña appears in the Sfera maps as version of salavigna or sarvigna, which tends to lead to confusion with versions of sardigna (Sardinia). Campbell #301.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
