Located in the north
east of the Antequera region, in a landscape primarily made up of
hills and ridges which are home to olive groves and cereal fields.
It dates back to the 18th century, when the buildings which began
to appear around the Franciscan monastery eventually formed a village.
Villanueva de Algaidas was the birthplace of the famous sculptor
Ortiz de Berrocal, whose works are housed in an interesting museum
in the village. Also of interest are Los Alcaides Necropolis, and
the caves of Sierra de Arcas and El Pedroso.
