Roque information
Guadiaro
The Roman city of Barbesula was located on a low-lying
area near the River Guadiaro. Some hitorians interpret
the place name Guadiaro as a Latin version of the
Greek name Chrysus. In 400 B.C. the River Chrysus
is quoted as a provisions and trading point for the
eastern part of Straits of Gibraltar.
In the 17th century there were several country estates
in the area, as well as the popular Guadiaro Roadside
Inn. Whne the English occupied Gibraltar in 1704,
some of the inhabitants from the rock came to this
area.
