In the past ten years a transformation has taken place, from a dusty somewhat shabby rural village to a lively community proud of its traditions and enhanced by many new amenities.

Roman urban vestiges have been found in the place of a settlement of Ardite families who inhabited the area in a stable but without shaping a city.

It was supposed to serve for travelers who used this area as a rest en route to Acinipo (Ronda) or to Cartima or Malacca, looking for an exit to the sea.

The Romans also left their mark on the Monte's prospect (Albar area), where they found a column and different types of altar stone.

They were signed by potters of this land who allegedly used them to trade or fill them with oil to feed the empire, although they have not found remains of mills from this period, though they may have existed.
