Origins and History
Istan has been populated since the Paleolithic by settlers who lived in the caves of the mountains. Later it was occupied by Phoenicians, Iberians, Carthaginians, Romans and Arabs. The Arabs left the biggest influence in the village as seen in the houses, canals, fountains and streets of Istan. An important moment in history was the rebellion of the baptized Moors in 1568 in which Istan played an important role by establishing itself as leader of the rebels until they were subdued by the Duke of Arcos in 1570. After the expulsion of the baptized Moors in the XVI century, Christian families from Murcia repopulated the village. Afterwards, the residents of Istan received the nickname of “panochos� which was the name of the dialect of the families from Murcia.

Origins and History
There is evidence of prehistoric vestiges from the Middle Paleolithic and Neolithic, but the Bronze Age is the best represented Age due to the settlement of Los Castillejos de Alcorrin, a village dating back to the IX century b. C. which proves the contacts between the indigenous and the Phoenicians settlers. In Roman times, population was moving from the small farms inland to the coast because of the salting industry growth. A good example is the archeological site the Surroundings of the Duchess Castle with a fish salting factory and a market attached to it. The population dispersed after the Muslim conquest and lived in small rural farmsteads. Then, the village became a dependency of Casares. In 1485, the Christians conquered Casares and in 1530 founded �Cortijo de Manilva� because of the need to repopulate the coastline to repel attacks by pirates. The population increased due to the booming of the sugar cane cultivation and the vineyards, which have been the driving force in the Manilva’s economy for centuries. In 1796, the Villazgo Privilege was granted to Manilva, so it got the independence from Casares.

Did you know‌? The Vineyards and the Muscat Grape
MANILVA
The vineyard has been the driving force in the economy of Manilva from the early-sixteenth century. During the XVII century and most of the XVII century, this industry was at its most successful mainly due to the wine and rum trade. At the end of the Civil War a new expansion of the vineyards of Manilva began due to the introduction of the Muscat grape which represented a radical change in the production orientation. Currently, Manilva Muscat wine is the main source of income of the town. This grape is used not only to make this wine, but also for the production of raisins.

Origins and History
Human settlements belonging to the Paleolithic and the Neolithic have been found on the slopes of Sierra Blanca, as well as Phoenicians and Punic vestiges in the area of Real River, dating from the VII century b. C. From the Roman period there are many sites and the most remarkable ones are located in the bed of the Verde River. The town of Marbella was founded during the Muslim period. Marbella played an important role in the history during this time. In the Taifa period, the kings of the town remained constant regarding the confrontations with the dynasty ruling Algeciras until the Berbers unified Marbella and Malaga. In the Moorish period, it was part of the Granada Kingdom until the Catholic Monarchs conquered it in 1485. Marbella was pioneer in the Spanish steel industry, but the most significant change took place in the second half of the XX century, when the urban structure and the economic model of Marbella changed radically, as a result of the booming of tourism. The town became one of the most exclusive tourist destinations in the world.

Origins and History
In the Paleolithic were nomadic groups in the area, but it was in the Neolithic when a population settled in the municipality, as evidenced by the remains found in the Pecho Redondo Cave. There are some evidences to suggest that there was a Roman settlement dedicated to agriculture and livestock in the area of Ojen. Ojen was founded by the Arabs, as attested by the ruins of the castle, to which Abderraman III fought a battle to subdue the Mozarabic and Muladi from Mรกlaga. In 1485, the Muslims capitulated to the Catholic Monarchs. Ojen was established as a subsidiary Council of Marbella. In 1569, the baptized Moors of Ojen joined to those of Istan to fight against the Christians. They fled after the peace in 1570; the town was repopulated in this year by Old Christians. In 1807, the King Carlos IV granted to Ojen the independence of Marbella.

Did you know‌? The Brandy of Ojen
OJEN
In 1830, the ojeneto Pedro Morales invested his fortune in setting up the first distillery of brandy in Ojen getting high-quality liquor which gave him a great prestige in Spain and around the world, so much that the name of Ojen became a generic name of sweet highquality spirits. In the late nineteenth century, phylloxera destroyed the vineyards of the area and some years later, the distillery closed. This meant an economic blow for the many families making their lives from brandy industry. One of the few remaining bottles of that famous brandy is preserved in the Town Hall of Ojen, protected by a dunite niche.

TORREMOLINOS
tc
Origins and History
The first settlements in Torremolinos date back to the Stone Age, but only Neolithic vestiges have been found. Phoenicians settled near the heart of Torremolinos, but the Romans were the founders of the town in the current location, as evidenced by the remains found. Population was growing during the Muslim control, even though it was still a small village. After the conquest of the Catholic Monarchs, the village was exposed to the Arab pirates and English attacks. The resettlement was not really effective until the XIX century due to the growth of the milling industry. Torremolinos joined the capital in 1924, becoming a fishing village, because of economic problems arising from the decline of the milling industry. However, from the 50`s it became one of the first tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol and a reference for Spain. In 1988, Torremolinos gained independence from Mรกlaga.
