Cuevas del Almanzora, Municipality in Levante Almeriense, Almería Province, Spain
Located in northeastern Almería, Cuevas del Almanzora stretches across 263 square kilometers of semi-desert terrain with fertile plains near water sources.
The settlement changed its name from Cuevas del Marques following the 19th-century mining boom when French miners named it Villa Hermosa due to lead deposits.
Natural caves in surrounding hills served as dwellings for hermits and shelters, leading to the current name of this municipality.
The municipality maintains contemporary agricultural projects through new water reservoirs, supporting local production and economic development at 88 meters above sea level.
The region housed the Punic-Roman settlement of Baria, functioning as a central trading port for Phoenician merchants from the 7th century BC.
