Origins of Jimera
According to the website of the Provincial Council of Malaga, the oldest data on the city dates back to 17th century. However, as a form of settlement, they date from much earlier times.
In the farm known as El Tesoro, about 4 kilometers from the town, they were found pottery remains and remains of a cityas well as its necropolis, in which there was a tomb with jewelry and other utensils which must have constituted the trousseau of the deceased buried there.
These funerary forms were typical of the Phoenician people and were later used by the indigenous peoples with whom these people lived. We also found them stone axes, clay amphorae and other remains of the bronze culture.
From the arab dominationOnly one tower remains, attached to the parish church of Virgen de la Salud, which would have been the minaret of the mosque. Its Arabic name was Inz-Almaraz, which was changed to Ximera de Líbar after the Christian conquest, a name which appears on a stone of the public fountain and dated 1789.
This municipality is considered to be the pioneer of rural tourisman activity that began in the 1950s, when the old Bellavista hotel welcomed people from Tangier, Ceuta and Tetouan to relax.
