The route to Mollina country from costa del sol and Malaga is by the A-92, heading towards Seville and turning off about 50 kilometres out, as signposted. The average temperature in the area is about 16š centigrade, and although there might not be great changes from season to season, it can vary quite a lot during the day.
There are various theories concerning the origin of the towns name. One says that it derives from the Torre Molina (the Mill Tower) and another claims it comes from the Latin "mollis", which means "suave" or "bland." Archaeological remains found in the Sierra de la Camorra, in any case, indicate the presence of settlements here in Neolithic times. But it was the Romans who left most evidence of their stay here, examples including the Mausoleum of La Capuchina, the olive oil mills and the Castellum of Santillán, a walled fortification now in ruins.

The present town dates from the 16th century. Sophisticated agricultural methods meant that, in the space of a century, Mollina had the best olive plantations in the Antequera area, to such a point that the name of the parish church of San Cayetano was changed to that of Nuestra Seņora de la Oliva.
The municipality became independent of Antequera at the beginning of the 19th century, and in the second half of the 20th century it suffered badly from emigration. The population dropped from 5,098 in 1950 to 3,049 in 1980. But great efforts were made in the field of agriculture to correct this situation, and in less than 30 years Mollina has managed to produce 80 percent of the wine that comes out of Malaga province.
