Nueva Carteya, located in the south of the province of Córdoba, is a town that combines the tranquility of the Andalusian rural landscape with a history deeper than its relatively recent foundation might suggest. Although its origin as an independent municipality dates back to the 19th century, its surroundings preserve traces of earlier settlements that go back to Antiquity and, notably, to the Andalusian period.

Surrounded by gentle hills and vast olive groves, Nueva Carteya’s identity has been shaped by the cultural heritage of the civilizations that once inhabited these lands and by the character of a community deeply connected to its environment. This blend of historical past and rural life remains today one of its most distinctive features.
