Villanueva de la Concepcion

The territory of Villanueva de la Concepcion is almost at the geographic centre of the province of Malaga and stretches from the foot of the Sierra del Torcal range to the Mountains of Malaga, but its topography is more closely identified with the Antequera region than with the latter mountains, although it is no doubt influenced by both. Thus, broad and fertile plains give way, sometimes rather abruptly, to very rugged country. Nevertheless, the lands of Villanueva de la Concepcion, dominated by the impressive mountain mass of El Torcal, yield prodigious quantities of olives, almonds and wheat.

The territory of Villanueva de la Concepción was now depopulated but regained a certain importance when in the second half of the eighteenth century construction began on the Camino Real (Royal Road) that would link Málaga and Madrid. Along this road farm communities and farmhouses begin to appear that with time would evolve into the present town, which was issued an official charter as a Población Rural (Rural Settlement) on 3 November 1880, at practically the same time that the “new towns” that sprang up in the Antequera region during this era received the same treatment. The special treatment from which the new settlement benefited-exemption from taxes, and from military service for the young men who were entered on the census- favoured rapid population growth. After years of demands the Council of Government of the Assembly of Andalusia conferred upon Villanueva de la Concepción the status of Autonomous Local Entity on 25 February 1992, thus culminating, although not completely, the process of separation from the municipality of Antequera.
