Mollina, Malaga

Just 15km north-west of Antequera on the A92, on the lower slopes of the Sierra de Mollina, Mollina is set in perfect olive and cereal country. It is also a mere 10 km from the Laguna de Fuente de la Piedra lake, famous for its pink flamingos.

The first humans in what is now the municipality of Mollina settled here in the Neolithic period, in some caves in the La Camorra range only six kilometres from the present village. Ceramic relics and a number of cave outline drawings attest to this. There are no later traces until the arrival of the Romans, who left a generous sample of their culture in the area.
