Humilladero is in Antequera country, and has two distinct types of landscape. One is the undulating hilly area around the urban centre of Carvajales, while the other is the mountainous area whose highest peak is 680 metres, covered in pine trees with a recreation area inside and all the usual services for cooking and eating out of doors.
The origins of the town would appear to go back to a very specific date: 1618, the year inscribed on the base of the Cross of Humilladero that stands at the entrance to the place, but there is some evidence to suggest that the town is almost two centuries older. Local legend claims that the Catholic Monarchs stopped at this spot to pray on their way to conquer Granada. Some historians insist that the urban centre grew up around the "El Convento," which housed the first inhabitants of Humilladero.

Humilladero
Be that as it may, it is generally agreed that the name of the town derives from an oath made by the Infante (Prince) don Fernando that he would humiliate himself before the sword of San Fernando after the conquest of Antequera, a sword carried by Per Afán de Ribera, in command of the Seville troops that were on their way to join up with the Infante near Antequera, on the very spot that is now the town centre of Humilladero. Don Fernando, later called "El de Antequera", knelt down and kissed the sword, swearing not to keep it until Antequera had fallen into Christian hands. The rest of his troops followed suit, all "humiliating" themselves with the same oath of their leader. The cross was later erected to mark the historic place. More...
