Located in the inside slope of the Sierra de Mijas (Mijas Mountains), in the place known as "Hoya de Málaga", between the Fahala river and the Blas Gonzalez stream, the Arabs named it Alhaurin, which some historian translate by "the valley", from the Arab root "Al-Haur", due to its situation upon the valley of the Fahala river, while others consider the name coming from the Arab word "Alhauerin" which means "Almighty God". |

The remains found in the zone belong to the epoch of Probo and Diocleciano, so it is supposed that there was an important Roman settlement in the area. The archaeologist Berlanga uphold that this was the settlement of the ancient Iberian town of "ILURO", and so, Alhaurin derives from LAURO, place were the Roman Emperor Caesar defeated Cneo Pompeyo, the son of Pompeyo The Great. |

The folklore in Alhaurín is represented by the flamenco songs, "fandango from Alhaurin", the "mulliores" and the "pastorales". The "mulliores" is perhaps one of the deepest root of the Alhaurin folklore. Its origin comes from the antique custom of a brotherhood whose main object was to sing the Saint Rosary on the daybreaks of October. |
