Although small in size, Ítrabo has a long history, starting with the arrival of the [[Phoenicians]], who |
|||
| subdivision_name = [[Spain]] |
|||
settled in the area due its fertile soil, fresh water and the proximity of the sea. A seafaring nation, |

the Phoenicians established a trade network that spanned much of the Mediterranean, and it was |

during this expansion that Ítrabo was born. A small farming settlement continued until the arrival |

of the [[Moors]] in the 12th century. With their superior knowledge of irrigation, the [[Arabs]] |

improved the primitive irrigation systems and created an extensive canal network which fed |
