Presentation of Prado del Rey

The municipality of Prado del Rey (5,885 inhabitants in 2014; 4,858 ha; municipal website) is located 110 km north of Cádiz.

Prado del Rey is the site of the Roman town of Iptuci, which was located in the south of the modern-day town. Iptuci was a significant town, which minted its own coins and was mentioned by Pliny and other Roman historians. The Roman salterns of Cabeza de Hortales were indeed initiated by the Phoenicians.
Destroyed in 1113-1114 by Alfonso VII, Prado del Rey was eventually re-established during the recolonization of Andalusia ordered by Charles III. The Royal Provision of 29 April 1768 established 189 colonists coming from the mountains of Grazalema and Ronda; each colonist was granted a plot of 36 fanegas. Prado del Rey was subsequently famous for the Pajarete wines, which were awarded a prize in the fair held in Madrid in 1877, and brandy.
The main source of income is today leatherwork industry, which was initiated in Prado del Rey in the 1960s.
