The town of La Vi�uela is situated at the crossroads between two of the most important roads in the province: that of Alhama and Casabermeja. The landscape is low hills, covered mostly in olive and cereal plantations, and conditioned almost always by the presence of the reservoir. From the reservoir one can see right across to the Sierra Tejeda and the Boquete de Zafarraya mountains, and below it flows the river Guaro. As one moves closer to the Axarqu�a mountains, the landscape gets rougher, with hills covered in oak trees, olives and the occasional vineyard. Apart from the nickname "Vi�oleros", the people of La Vi�uela are also known locally as "Polacos", meaning Poles, due to a dispute between this and a neighbouring town in the past. The town itself, sometimes referred to as "The oasis of the Axarqu�a," dates from the 16th century, growing around an inn on what was then the royal road between V�lez and Granada. The venta, or inn, is still in existence on the main street of the town, and it stood in a small vineyard known as "La Vi�uela". In spite of being one of the newest towns in the Axarqu�a, we know, from archaeological remains found here, that people have lived in this area from middle palaeolithic times, at least, up to the time of the Roman settlement. The principal remains were at the R�o Guaro area, these being adobe and cane cabins with ovens for making bronze, along with olive oil mills and Roman pots for the transportation of olive oil. The Romans left most evidence of the their presence at the Pantano de la Vi�uela area, where the local people still live by agriculture.
