Thanks to this Travel Guide to Paterma de Rivera you can find all the activities and the best travel tips for your trip.
Populated from the Neolithic, its most numerous vestiges date from the Roman period, with findings of towns with fabulous mosaic floors, tombs and Gades coins. At this time, its inhabitants already enjoyed the medicinal properties of the Fuente Santa and Gigonza baths, being known for its waters as the Valley of the Baths (Valle de los Baños).
After the Christian Reconquest, it becomes part of the Señorío de los Ribera, from which it takes its name. It remains dependent on Alcalá de los Gazules, from which it was emancipated in 1825.
