History

The first records of Albondón date back to the Andalusian period, when it flourished due to its dry climate, which made it possible to exploit its lands. The area covered by the municipality contains vestiges of Cave Culture, including important archaeological sites such as the Cueva de las Campanas and the Sima de Los Intentos. In addition to interesting karstic relief, numerous Neolithic artefacts were found here, which are now on display at the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Granada.
