Los Gallardos information

Los Gallardos is located in the lower Almanzora valley about 73 kilometres from Almería by motorway. Local history has it that the name of the municipality is derived from the number of residents whose name was Gallardo. Another theory is that Captain Gallardo was a 16th century official who moved from Mesa de Roldán and sttled in the first street to be created in the town with family houses, Calle Soriano. The town grew to support mining operations in the Sierra Almagrera at the beginning of the 19th century with the discovery of large deposits of lead and iron. There are the remains of mining activity between the municipalities of Bédar and Los Gallardos, as well as fragments of the overhead cable from Pinar to Garrucha. There are also been a railway track linking Los Gallardos with Bédar and Garrucha, and one of the bridges still exists over the N340 near La Perulaca. The town's economy has always based on agriculture, even when the mines were operating.
