CARTAMA : Town in the Area of Alora, Spain |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
Introduction : |
||||||
|
Cartama is situated at the foot of two small sierras (Espartales 400m. and Llana 405 m.) which together form the Sierra de Cartama. Its territory is the frontier between the Guadalhorce valley region and La Hoya in the Montes de Málaga, which favours a contrasting aspect with the agricultural plain, which spreads orange trees and vegetables on both sides of the Guadalhorce and the rounded hills on the north of the municipality on which olives and almonds with dispersed houses look out to the valley of the unmistakable landscape of the Montes de Málaga. |

|
History: |
||||||
|
If the land is varied, even more so the history of its inhabitants, as this area was occupied by Tartesides and Phoenicians and reached great splendour with the Romans. It seems that the Phoenicians gave the town its first name, known in the primitive settlement as Cartha - meaning hidden city. Later the Romans called it Cartima |

|
Places to Visit: |
||||||
|
The parish church of San Pedro, whose construction date is written on an inscription on the main facade with the year 1502, is situated in the town square, where the orange trees give an Andalusian atmosphere appropriate to the Guadalhorce valley. It consists of three naves with a coffered Mudejar style ceiling. |
