Presentation of Lupíon

The municipality of Lupíon (938 inhabitants in 2013; 2,433 ha; municipal website) is located 50 km north-east of Jaén.

Lupión was mentioned by Ptolemy as Luparia. The name of the town is derived from the Latin word lupus, "a wolf". The town depended on Baeza until granted the status of villa by King Charles IV on 14 August 1795.
The village of Guadalimar was established in the valley of river Guadalimar, as part of the Plan of Work, Colonization, Industrialization and Electrification of the Province of Jaén, prescribed by the Law of 17 July 1953. Designed by the architect José A. Corrales Gutiérrez, the new settlement was made of 154 houses for farmers, a school, a church, shops etc. Inaugurated in 1961 by Franco, Guadalimar del Caudillo was settled by some 500 colonists coming from Lupión, Begíjar, Baeza, Ibros, Bélmez, Pontones, and other neighbouring villages.
