Rincon de la Victoria

This seaside village, which is surrounded by tropical vegetation and great extensions of sugar cane plants, is situated 12.5 km. from Malaga and 21.5 km. from Velez and it has just about 12.000 inhabitants.

No doubt the most outstanding feature is the Cueva del Tesoro, with the remains of cave paintings and signs of having been inhabited in the paleolithic era, which gives it a great importance from a historic point of view. The main gallery is more than 500 metres long. It is situated in the Cala del Moral, inside the municipal district.

The Casa Fuerte de Bezmiliana is worth visiting, with masonry outer walls for defending the ancient Bezmiliana city. This ancient city has been considered to have a great value among the existing ones with the same characteristics on a European level. The Casa Fuerte has recently been rehabilitated and its present use is basically for cultural purposes.

The lookout towers on the coast are also interesting, and were used to warn of the pirate's arrival - with smoke signs during the day and fires during the night -. One is in El Cantal and the other in the Benagalbon area.

The visitor must not forget to visit the municipal district's beaches, which after being regenerated have become an attraction for the sun and beach tourist.
