TRAVEL GUIDES DIRECTORY: CADIZ SPAIN ALGODONALES

HISTORY

The town of Algodonales is of Roman origin, as validated by the ancient Roman ruins found in the Cerro de la Botinera or Botinera Hill. Evidences of life from the Neolithic period have also been found in the caves of Santa, Chamusquina and Castillejo.

In the middle ages, this town was a monastic refuge, independent of its neighbor town Zahara. In the 19th century, the village resisted an invasion of Napoleonic French troops. This heroism earned Algodonales its official township in 1817.
