About The Area |
|
The municipal region of Humilladero
occupies a narrow strip of territory between the
municipalities of Fuente de Piedra and Mollina, to the
north of the region of Antequera. The region extends
from the limit of the provinces of Malaga and Seville
to the mountain range of the same name, at the foot of
which you will find the town.
The landscape is a
smoothly undulating plain covered with olive trees and
cereal. |
 |
 |
|
To the South the Mountain range of
Humilladero (650 ms.) breaks the monotony with a
steeper relief and an abundant mass of pine
groves.
Although the foundation of the town goes
back to the 15th Century - a time previous to the
conquest of Antequera by the Christian troops -, the
first trustworthy documents date its origins to the
year 1618, the date that appears in an inscription in
the foundations at the base of de la Cruz of the
Humilladero at the entrance of the locality. |

|
The first inhabitants of
Humilladero occupied a series of houses surrounding
the Convent in the 15th Century. The name itself is
reputed to be from the occassion when Infante D.
Fernando swore an oath on the sword of San Fernando
that he had carried from the coast to the troops from
Seville with whom he was wanting to unite in order to
conquer Antequera. D. Fernando and his troops all
knelt and swore not to take possession of the sword
until Antequera was conquered. |
