In 1493 the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, after completion of the conquest of the Emirate of Granada, gave Corumbela as payment for services to Diego Fernández de Córdoba y Mendoza, 3rd Count of Cabra.

Afterwards it belonged to the Ducal House of Medinaceli, which owned the Estate until 1811 when the Cortes of Cádiz prohibited the lordships.

Another place to visit in Corumbela is "Las 3 Fuentes" (The 3 Springs), where natural and crystalline water runs.

Its cuisine is very rich and varied, particularly fennel stew[a] washed down with a good local wine.

The blood sausages are very good as well as the cateto bread, made in a traditional wood oven.
