Pizarra is a town and municipality in the province of Málaga, part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain.

The municipality of Pizarra is located in a strategic area in the Guadalhorce Valley region, between Álora and Cártama.

Pizarra is crossed by the Guadalhorce River along 8.5 kilometres (which has a width of 11.5) and 8 km, from east to west and from north to south, respectively.

At the time of the reconquest of Álora (22 June 1484) this town did not exist, but at the end of the 15th century, the place of Pizarra appeared, built on the lands of Diego Romero.

Not satisfied with the deprivation of their positions, they demanded justice, and the Royal Court and Chancery of Granada,, on December 16, 1594, condemned the Mayor of Malaga and other councilors to a fine and the restitution of the rods that were taken from them.

By Royal Decree issued in Granada on January 26, 1595, the Notary of Malaga Manuel Sánchez Boa restored both Pizarra mayors to their respective offices.

From that date, Pizarra began to appoint its own mayors, although subject to the jurisdiction of the city of Malaga, except in ecclesiastical matters, since it was annexed to Álora in the parish service.
