Roman
Ruins
 Excavated Various groups of settlers
and invaders arrived in Spain from around Europe including the Phoenicians
around 900BC followed by the Greeks
and Celts but the first
group to really leave its mark on the Axarquia was the Romans.
Having taken over in 200BC they remained in charge for about 700 years
bringing their own brand of civilization to the country. The best Roman
remains can be found in Almuñécar, however archeologist have uncovered more remains in the region of Torrox Costa where the Necropolis
or cemetery is well presented to the public beneath a transparent viewing
platform adjacent to the lighthouse at the end of Avda. del Faro. There’s also remains of a Fish Factory where fish was salted and turned into a fish sauce for
seasoning food, this was a favourite condiment for the Romans known as
garum and was highly prized not only for it’s flavour but medicinal
properties too. |
