Brief History

All of the Almeria area was the centre of intense activity in prehistory, firstly by the culture of the Argar. Later Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans passed through this area on their way through the Levante. The mines in the region were a great attraction for those peoples of antiquity. The museums of the Cerro de San Francisco, in the vicinity of El Saltador, and La Sierra Enmedio have preserved some of these tunnels.

Until 1488 the area of Huércal Overa bordered the Kingdom of Granada. They were retaken by King Ferdinand, commanding the troops of the Marquis-Duke of Cadiz, and incorporated in the city of Lorca which became independent in 1668. Huércal Overa achieved the category of a town on March 3 of that year.

In recent years, due to the large number of immigrants in the area, the town hall has introduced many schemes to integrate the communities, hosting many cultural and gastronomic events where the people can share the dishes and traditions of their individual nations and sample the local fare.
