Aguadulce is a Spanish town in the municipality of Roquetas de Mar, province of Almería, in the autonomous community of Andalucía.
The towns of Aguadulce, Las Hortichuelas and Campillo del Moro did not originally belong to the municipality of Roquetas de Mar, but they were added in the first third of the 20th century.
The reason was that the Enix Town Council, to which these places belonged, proposed to cede to Roquetas de Mar if this municipality undertook the payment of the debits that Aguadulce had.
During the first third of the 20th century, modern means were incorporated, causing a change in the lifestyles of the population, such as the construction of a new road, means of communication: telephone, telegraph and transport, it took place the installation of the first bus line, and the first public lighting for electricity was hired in 1936 thanks to a workers society called “Desde la Buena Unión”, which in that year requested the change of the street lights.
The few holidaymakers who arrived in this town did not stay in luxurious chalets or splendid mansions on the shore of the beach, but in modest houses that they rented or bought in the center of the neighbourhood, making on the shore of the beach a hut to enjoy sunbathing and sea bathing, and that once they finished the holidays they were disarmed until the next year.
The archaeological site of La Ribera de Algaida or Ribera de Turaniana is a set of archaeological remains discovered in 1859 that chronologically cover from the end of the Bronze Age, through the Argaric culture, fundamental during Roman times, to the Muslim period.
