Alameda is located north - west of Antequera and at the foot of the Sierra de la Camorra. It is the frontier between the Antequera depression and the Cordoba and Seville countryside.
The town has barely 5.000 inhabitants. It is most famous for its cadaverous celebrity El Tempranillo, the legendary 19th century bandit born in nearby Jauja and buried in Alameda's Iglesia de la Purisima Concepcion church, he was killed by an old raid companion near the village in 1833, his tomb in the village church is frequently visit by tourists.
On the southern border, apart from the previously mentioned highland, there is the Ratosa lagoon, which although dry most of the year, is protected by the Junta de Andalucia.
The human settlements are very old, according to the findings belonging to the Iberian era; nevertheless, the most numerous traces of population come from the Roman era. The city of Astigi Vetus used to exist in this period, judging from an inscription which appeard in thiis town. The most important archaeological findings belong to this town.
Alameda was first setteld as a town by the Phoenicians, but there is archaeological evidence of habitation dating back to Paleolithic and Neolithic times, probably 2-2.500 BCE. Vestiges of these settlements can be seen at the Necropolis Calcolitica just outside the town, a system of over twenty interconnected burial pits ossuaries, some a metre wide.
Alameda was also an important settlement in Roman times, with the remains of a Roman villa and baths and a wealth of artefacts discovered suggesting a major trade and military base at the site in the first century BC. The remains of the baths are maintained in a 3000 square metre enclosure in Calle Enmedio, and have been dated to between the first and the third centuaries AC. The site is now a preserved national monument.
In 1883 Alameda was incorporated into the newly created province of Málaga, under the control of Archidona. This was an unpopular and confusing decision in a village that was still under the orders of both the bishop of Estepa and the archbishop of Seville. The town was only placed under the orders of the archbishop of Málaga as late as 1959.
The baroque Iglesía de la Purísima Concepción was built in 1696, the church tower being a later addition, along with the remarkable rococo altar piece at the head of the nave. The church was actually expanded sideways in 1779 with two new aisles, supported by eight massive pillars, to accommodate the town's burgeoning new population. The tomb of El Tempranillo can be seen in the church's interior patio.
The main focus of Alameda is the central Fuente de la Placeta, built from delicate local stone at the time of King Carlos III, in the Plaza de España. Until recent decades it was still the main source of fresh water for the town, and the sizeable width of the fountain's base, built perhaps deliberately, made it impossible to fill a large pitcher without leaning over and falling into the fountain. Townsfolk developed a trick of putting the pitcher on the ground and filling it using a hollow cane reed. The nearby Plaza de la Constitution is a pleasant tree-lined square with benches where townspeople take their evening paseo, walk.
