Our office is situated in Casabermeja approximately 17 kms to the north of Malaga. The province of Andalucia is a mainly mountainous region, with a coastal strip of land known as the Costa del Sol, providing Spain with one of its most important tourist areas, with well known names such as Marbella, Puerto Banus, Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Inland towns such as Antequera, Archidona Casabermeja, Colmenar, Riogordo, Villanueva Del Rosario, Iznajar etc, have there own atmosphere and charm, and provide a wide contrast to the coastal towns.

Casabermeja History

Casabermeja faces north: a corridor of greens, golds, ashens and browns that alternate, blend and just happen throughout the year. In the horizon, the imperturbable greys of the “Torcal las Sierras de Cabra”, “Sierra Del Co” and “Sierras De Los Camorolos”, close the circle. From the alter come down the river beds of the “Arroyo Coche” and the “Guadalmedina” (The City River). It gives the impression that these furrows of an interior sea within the night ocean were to embrace just at the point where the white and the vermilion of the village emerge. And yet, after kissing its feet, almost in a bow, they keep off, going into excile, telling their tales which are those of the places present and past.

It is said that, from thousands of years back, along their banks, men and woman labour and express themselves through a primitive art. Vestiges of this work are, amongst others, the cave paintings of “Piedras De Cabrera”, The megalithic tomb of the Hospital, the Chapera Dolmens, the Roman Potters workshop of Alcaide and the Roman hydrolic works of “Fuente De Las Parras” and “Casa De Arias”.
More recent history tells us of a Red Castle (Cars Bermeja) that gave name to the village: Casabermeja.
From this period, rising up like a guardsman, stands “Torre Zambra” (Zambra Tower) dating from the 13th Century.
That Casabermeja was a population of Moors is proved by the foundational orden issued by the Catholic Monarchs, confirmed by Doña Juana and later on by the Emperor Charles V in 1550. The letter of confirmation says that “A place in the most convenient location of said place of Camara be built and populated where a place existed before during Moorish domination. The village started growing around “ Nuestra Señora Del Soccoro” Church, built immediately after the reconquest.
