Historical milestone · Yunquera, Sierra de las Nieves, Málaga

Image of Yunquera, not of the place itself.

The place name comes from the former abundance of rushes, evidence of the site's water resources. Although no visible remains survive, the area served as an essential military route between Malaca and the Ronda region during the Roman conquest of Hispania, and was inhabited by Visigothic Christians before the arrival of the Berbers.
