Presentation of Calicasas

The municipality of Calicasas (589 inhabitants in 2008; 1,125 ha; municipal website) is located in the Granada Plain, 15 km north of Granada.
Calicasas is written as Calicatro on a Roman stone bearing the names of different colonies. During the Moorish period, the village was named Quarynat-Al-Qannar or Galiqayay, that is, "The Houses of the Rooster". After the Christian reconquest, the village was remaned Cal y Casas, referring to the lime kilns (caleras) found around the village.
