The Mijas Town Hall organizes free guided tours to the Cortijo de Acebedo archaeological site.

The Mijas City Council has organized free guided tours to the Cortijo de Acebedo archaeological site on the occasion of the European Archaeology Days. The tours will take place this weekend, on June 13 and 14, with two sessions per day: at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. The aim of these days is to raise awareness about the archaeology profession and the richness of the archaeological heritage, as well as the importance of its preservation. "Cortijo Acebedo is immersed in a major research project, as we have a history that deserves to be told," explained the Councilor for Culture, Lourdes Burgos (PP). The guided tours are open to all citizens interested in participating in the various sessions organized for June 13 and 14, although prior registration is required either by email at patrimoniohistorico@mijas.es or by phone at 952 48 59 00 (extension 3501). Throughout the tour, municipal staff will present an exhibition on the various findings and explain how an archaeological procedure is carried out. Additionally, some examples of the remains found, dating from the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD, as well as their relationship with the spaces where they have been located, will be shown. The guided tour will allow visitors to explore the different excavated areas of the archaeological site and bring the people of Mijas closer to the history of Mijas during the Phoenician and Roman periods.
