Where Andalusia Was Named
Portrait
Blas Infante was born in a house on the Carrera here on the fifth of July 1885, was shot by Francoist forces in August 1936, and in 2010 the Parliament of Andalusia formally proclaimed him father of the Andalusian nation. Four kilometres off, on the Alechipe promontory, the Roman town of Lacipo struck its own coins in the second century BC and was declared a monument of cultural interest in February 1996.
