History
Jimera de Libar is a small village located in the province of Malaga, Spain. Its history dates back to the Roman era, when it was part of the Roman province of Baetica. However, the village’s current name comes from the Arab period when it was known as “Ximera”.
During the Arab occupation, Jimera de Libar was a strategic location due to its proximity to the Guadiaro River. The village had a castle, which was built to defend the area against Christian invasions. In the 15th century, Jimera de Libar was conquered by the Christian armies of the Catholic Monarchs, and the castle was left in ruins.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the village was part of the Marquisate of Zahara, and it was mainly an agricultural community that produced olive oil, wine, and cereals. During the 19th century, Jimera de Libar experienced a period of economic growth due to the construction of the railway line that connected Algeciras with Bobadilla.
Today, Jimera de Libar is a rural village that attracts visitors who are interested in hiking, birdwatching, and nature. The village still preserves its traditional architecture, narrow streets, and white washed village houses.
