Introduction: The site

The Tolmo de Minateda is an archaeological site whose life is documented from the Neolithic era to the end of the 10th century AD. About five thousand years, although the occupation has not always been as intense. Its strategic location, which dominated one of the roads that connected with the plateau from the Mediterranean coast, and next to another that linked the coastline with the interior of Andalusia, had a lot to do with the development of the city.
