There are two ways to get to Periana. One can take the road through the Mountains of Malaga, a winding country road that passes through Colmenar to bring us to Periana. The second is the most suitable if we leave from the Axarqu�a, since it starts from V�lez, bringing us by the Vi�uela road and the Puente de Don Manuel cross roads, where we turn to the left and follow the route to the town. The municipality is in a privileged position in the Axarqu�a region, in a valley surrounded by hills with an abundance of water that feeds the cultivated plots below. This has created a micro-climate that has attracted settlers from pre-historic times. We know this from remains found in the Cerro de la Alcolea, at 731 metres above sea level and facing Mondr�n; the Neolithic site at the Cerro del Fuerte and the Marchamonas area, situated to the north of Periana. During the Moorish domination, hamlets like Mondr�n and the Ba�os de Vilo existed in what is now the urban centre, and the water from these baths was used for medicinal purposes. At that time Periana was probably a farmhouse that grew into a series of defensive fortresses, one on the hill of Santana and another more southerly in a place called Pereiro, the origin of the town�s present-day name. But it was not until the end of the 18th century, in 1761 to be exact, that the area became an independent municipality. Until then it had been under the jurisdiction of V�lez, and in an even earlier period, of Riogordo. With independence came the conversion of the hermitage into a parish church. An earthquake in 1884 destroyed a large part of the town, and it was subsequently re-constructed with aid from the rest of the country and abroad. In our time Periana is a prospering agricultural town, famous for its olive oil and peaches. In fact, its annual peach festival is considered to be one of the best of its kind in Spain.
