Introduction : |

History: |
||||||
|
The history of human settlement in this area goes back to Palaeolithic times, to judge by various hunting implements found in the Cueva de Belda. The most important Copper Age burial grounds in Spain are here too. During Roman times, around the 2nd century B.C., a Roman road known as the Way of Antonino passed close to Cuevas Bajas, and it was the Romans who first began to cultivate grapes, olives and cereals both in this area and the land around the river Singilis, now known as the Genil. Cuevas Bajas and Cuevas Altas were called Cuevas de Belda in medieval times, and the present-day Cuevas Bajas and Cuevas de San Marcos then formed part of two Moorish settlements conquered by the Governor of Antequera, Pedro Narváez, in the year 1426. |

Urban centre and surroundings : The town centre is only 323 metres above sea level, situated in a small valley from where one can see the surrounding olive groves and farmland, the production of olive oil being the mainstay of the local economy. The land between the river Genil and the highest point of the municipality, the 768-metre high Cruz peak, is basically low hills covered in olive trees, while the land around the town itself and the Genil riverbanks is given over to small market gardens and cereal plantations.
