The road from Malaga known as the Carretera de Colmenar brings us through pine woods and beautiful countryside to the Malaga Mountain towns in the most westerly part of the Axarquía. This too is the road to Colmenar, known as the Capital of the Malaga Mountains. On the way into the municipality we see the stone steeple called the Puerta de La Cruz, showing the coat-of-arms of the town as a beehive with seven bees flying over it. A historical scene there brings us back to the year 1488, when the town was handed over by Hamet el Zuque to Francisco de Coalla. Past this we come to the town of Colmenar itself, and looking from here we can see two hills that used to mark the limits between the urban centre and the surrounding countryside. On the higher of these hills is the Hermitage of the Santuario, also known as the Convent of the Santísima Virgen de la Candelaria, patron saint of the town. The view from here is over the Tajos de Gómer and Doña Ana, the Sierra Tejeda mountains and, to the right, the Sierra Nevada mountain range. On the other hill is the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. Colmenar passed into Christian hands in the 15th century, but the Romans had been here long before that time. The year 1560 was, nevertheless, one of the most important historical dates for the town, because it was then that the municipality’s borders were fixed and the town began to enjoy its economic well-being as a key administrative centre in the Mountains of Malaga region.
