Vélez-Rubio (Spanish: [ˈbeleθˈruβjo]) is a municipality in the province of Almería, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
There have been people living the region for 30,000 years. [citation needed] The present location is from the 15th-16th centuries, when Moriscos and Christians came to live in the Fatín area, and expanded the town around the church and the town hall.[citation needed] The greatest development took place during the 18th and 19th centuries, when the straightest and largest streets, and most luxurious buildings were built.[citation needed]
