INTRODUCTION : In the north of Malaga Province, about 50 kilometres from Malaga City (and 20 kilometres from Antequera), at the foothills of the Sierra de Gracia, is the welcoming village of Archidona. Located in the northern part of the Province of Malaga the urban area is situated at the foot of the Sierra de Gracia and surrounded by the Sierras del Conjuro and Grajasa.
HISTORY : Phoenician, Roman, Carthaginian and Moorish cultures have left their traces and the gastronomy offers such dishes as Porra Archidonesa and Cazuelilla Moruna. It is the Phoenicians who are said to have begun the construction of the protective walls of the town. This defensive barrier, led to it being called '"Arx Domina" at the time of the Roman period. Later still the Moors called it "Medina Arxiduna", and hence to its present name of Archidona.
