"In the city of Marbella there are two mineral springs, which call for great holy virtues, then cure more diseases. Your situation Real is a river, a league away from the city and five hundred yards of its last mill. They have the peculiarity that is noticeable to others that will say, that put in a glass and pouring oil:, it will sink to the bottom and put all white as milk. Another is called the Caybelo in the Snake Creek, a distance of a mile and a half of the people, which is very medicinal, not whether it has conducted tests to find out all its virtues as a pharmacist took care of it to send to the pharmacy of His Majesty and not if carried out his commission. " Christopher stressed
So Medina Conde, under the pseudonym of Cecilio García de la Lena, in 1789 in his book "Conversations Malaga history, the medicinal properties of two marbellenses sources. Times were prevalent religion and our landscape contained, as all the territories of English Christianity, holy places associated with miraculous healing benefits, holy places of healthy remedies blessed spaces in which overlapping layers of devotion to primitive rites and pagan shrines. Links to the earth and its essential elements. Clues to ancestral heritage of antiquity.
The toponymy "sacred" referring to these sites is varied and so close to the source of River Real was a time that there was a Holy Elah, both as Castaño Santo de Istan and the Holy Algarrobo next to the "vineyard" (system of planting vineyards) of Guadalmina, as last reference is in the eighteenth century. Sanctification of the place, overlapping religions. Dead souls and graveyards of which in most cases are heard talking about spiritual, for those who erected shrines, crosses, shrines and niches.
named the Moro Hills or the Cross, the northern Sepultura Artola Alta, Dead Man's Hole near the Lance of Reeds and the stream of the Snake, the Lomilla of the Sacra este del arroyo del Celoso y noroeste del cortijo del Alicate. Como cementerio de los Moros se conocían los restos de Vega del Mar, la Rábita coincidía con el entorno de las Bóvedas. Las aguas adquirían peculiaridades misteriosas como las del arroyo de la Leche que lindaba con el bujedillo de Esteril o el inquietante arroyo del Tesoro que estaba en Las Chapas y del que no se conocen sus riquezas. No hay yacimiento arqueológico en Marbella descubierto o por descubrir que se desligue de este esquema. (Disculpen lo escueto en las explicaciones sobre la ubicación, pero muchos de estos topónimos desaparecieron y sus vínculos con asentamientos arcaicos están aún por establecer, por lo cual ante el riesgo de expolio -práctica bastante Extended-avoid giving more details.)
From earth full of metals and precious stones sometimes arises all, is the origin of Marbella. Its operation since before history created a context in which next to the legends were forged fervor and challenge the myths stories less scientific. Fabulous treasures, gold, silver, lead, copper Sierra Blanca were bored. Hundreds of mines, reefs, tastings, farms, wells, tunnels and caves of hidden wonders, rivers argentiferous, stories of greed and beliefs about the radioactivity of the mountains, microclimates, magnetism and fertility.
domains are extraordinary miracle which was to outlive. Dull rumbling sounds, water and flavorings can be heard off primitivism. The vast majority are north of the highway in the foothills of Sierra Blanca, a vast hilly area, which forms an arc suspended from the mountains, seasonal streams embedded in walls and corners to be discovered on foot. A beautiful landscape that has been spared much of the push developer, but is in danger of being lost by the gross neglect and threats and to build a second ring road. We need to field work, scanners to inventory everything seen so protected. A review on the recognition and no one way for unknown argument for an exemption from guilt. Who is coming?
