I have found curious romances and tales! -- Lanjarón — Federico García Lorca, In a letter to Cuban diplomat Melchor Fernández Almagro Lanjaron’s next claim to fame occurred during the War of Independence, or Peninsula War as it is known in the UK, when the township of Lanjaron held out against the besieging French troops. Its inhabitants received the accolade of ‘canoneros’. This little piece of history explains the rusty 18th century naval cannon at one end on the main street. The tiled plaque on the wall behind the cannon points out that, in October 2000, the Spanish Admiral of the Straits noticed the fact that the canoneros of Lanjaron did not have a cannon. So, he sifted through his naval supplies and gave them one thereby signifying, as the plague on the cannon emphasises, ‘the special bond between canoneros and marine’.

Most are accompanied by a short phrase or poem, usually by Federico García Lorca, and are used by locals and visitors for drink and rest.
