History
The origin of this name, La Calahorra, refers to the defensive role of this village. In the Middle Ages, it was called La Calahorra de Alquife. It was once the capital of D. Rodrigo de Mendoza, the Marquis of Zenete's landed state.
During the Moors uprising in 1568, this village was one of the first to support the revolt. After the Moors were expelled, it was repopulated by Old Christians.
