Alameda information - Alameda tourism - Malaga white villages

Many archaeological remains have been found in this village, which prove that Alameda was settled down by different people for ages. The Roman Baths are the most important archaeological remains found in Alameda, situated in the centre of the village, and the archaeological works have made evident they were built over an ancient settlement of Copper Age. The village grew around the church of Inmaculada Concepción, which was built at the end of the seventeenth century. Inside the church, there is a baroque altarpiece, which lodges a polychrome sculpture of the patron saint, the Virgin Inmaculada Concepción. But the most interesting sculptorical work in the church, is the small chapel of Nazareno, in baroque style, and decorated with plaster cast. But the monument more visited in Alameda is the courtyard in memory of "Jose Maria El Tempranillo", the most famous bandit in Spain in the 19th century, who died in Alameda in 1833.
