Gilena, a place of stone

All the civilisations and cultures that populated the Iberian Peninsula passed through Gilena, a small town in the Sierra Sur. The town’s name means a place of flintstone, derived from the Latin ‘Silex’. Indeed, the first thing you will see from afar is the huge stone quarry, the key economic driver for Gilena.
