history
Around 400 BC The area was inhabited by the Celtic ethnic group of the Vaccaeans . In the 2nd century BC BC the Romans brought large parts of the Iberian Peninsula under their control; they also brought the art of viticulture with them. In the 5th century AD the Vandals came , but they were pushed to North Africa by the Visigoths . In the 8th century, Arab-Moorish armies advanced far to the north, but were unable to conquer the areas north of the Cantabrian Mountains ( Basque Country , Cantabria , Asturias , Galicia ). Already in the 10th and 11th centuries they were pushed south by Christian armies ( reconquista ) , with the Duero valley, located about 35 km south of Quintanilla de Trigueros, delimiting the respective spheres of influence for a long time.
