Malaga’s Cortijo de Acebedo in Mijas has opened up to visitors for the first time.

The local government are committed to promoting this attraction to tourists, and it is unique in the area. The first visitors attended this archaeological site on Friday, June 18, for a free tour to witness the Historical Heritage of the area.
Both the Mayor of Mijas, Josele González, and the Councillor for Historical Heritage, Laura Moreno, were present at the event.
González commented that: “I am convinced that in a few years this site will become a great archaeological museum of reference in Andalusia.”
He also went on to highlight the importance of the historical excavations: “a tourist attraction for the municipality as we are talking about a unique area in the province not only for the structures and materials found but also for their conservation”.
Moreno commented on the local government commitment and said that: “Knowing and enhancing the value of our history is a clear commitment of this local government that must continue in future terms of office.
“We are talking about studies and excavations that are resulting in the discovery of remains of great value that are not found anywhere else in Spain and we must not only preserve them but also enhance their value and make them known to the general public”.
