Rincon de la Victoria is 12 kilometres from Malaga and 20 from Velez-Malaga. Its importance as a tourist resort leads to its population rising in the summer months.
The main attraction of the town are its almost ten kilometres of peaceful, sandy beaches. Leisure amenities are all provided to give the visitor maximum comfort and enjoyment during a stay. Inland, in the valleys of the Totalan, Granadillas and Benagalbon rivers, the cultivation of sub-tropical fruits abounds. Besidesthe town of Rincon de la Victoria, the municipal area also includes La Cala del Moral and Benalgabon. Settlement in this area goes right back to prehistoric times, and important late-Palaeolithic (35000-10000 BC) sites have been discovered here, from which an interesting collection of tools and Stone-Age art has been extracted. The most important cave is Cueva del Higueron, also known as La Cueva del Tesoro (the Cave of the Treasure) due to a legend in which it was used as a refuge by five Moorish kings, who hid great riches here. The cave is an important tourist attraction, and has been been equipped with a sound and light show. The Romans also settled in this area, as is demonstrated by the remains of a 3rd-century AD fortress.
