Almanzora

Almanzora is a small city in the province of Almería, Andalusia, Spain.

Its name, derives from the Arabic al-Mansura (المنصورة), "place of victory", and has been passed on from the city to which is shared with a river and to the surrounding Comarca of Almanzora.

In 1436, during the Reconquista, an expedition of Murcians conquered the city from Muslim rule.

Since roughly the 1990s, there has been an influx of people from the United Kingdom who have come for the sunny Almerían climate, as well as some return of earlier migrants.

The economy has traditionally been mainly agricultural, especially citrus fruits, with lemons as an important export crop.
