Almendralejo, located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, is a city with a rich historical, cultural, and agricultural heritage.

Founded after the Reconquista, around the 13th century, by the Order of Santiago.

Its name comes from the almond trees that once covered the original site.

By the 16th century, it already had a well-established urban structure.

In 1513, it received its charter of privileges, which spurred its development.
