Overview of Algarrobo

Algarrobo in the Costa del Sol

Algarrobo is a small municipality with an area of less than 10 square kilometres.
It extends over a territory from the very edge of the mountains of La Axarquía down to the coastline.
The River Algarrobo-Sayalonga crosses the municipality from north to south, flowing through a valley whose landscape used to be covered by olive trees, almond trees and vineyards. Today the valley is mostly used for the cultivation of subtropical fruits and vegetables, and the slopes are being transformed into terraces to host these new plantations.

The urban nucleus of Algarrobo is about three kilometers inland from the coast and it has a Moorish architecture.
The area next to the beach is known as Algarrobo-Costa and is mostly made up of tourism-oriented buildings.

History of Algarrobo

History of Algarrobo

Algarrobo is believed to have been inhabitated as far back as the Paleolithic, although the first documented prehistoric town is from the Copper Age.
Phoenicians artifacts found at Trayamar and several other antiquities found at the Morro de Mezquitilla have been described by Professors German Schubart and Niemeyer as some of the most important Phoenicians objects found in Western Europe.

Under the Roman Empire, Algarrobo becomes a very prosperous location. The population was displaced inland by the invading Germanic tribes and founded the first settlement of today's town.

When the Arabs invaded the Iberian Peninsula the town of Algarrobo was mostly occupied by Berbers coming from Algiers.
They introduced new crops, such as the almonds and small industries, mostly for the manufacturing of silk.

In 1487, after the Christian troops conquered the city of Vélez Malaga and the Fort of Bentomiz, Algarrobo becomes part of Castile.

During the French invasion of Spain by Napoleonic troops, Algarrobo was very close to be burned to the ground, but it could be avoided at the very last minute by sending a messenger to ask for clemency to Malaga, during which journey two horse died from exhaustion.
