Vélez-Rubio (Spanish: [ˈbeleðˈruβjo], locally [ˈbɛlɛʱˈruβjo]) is a municipality in the province of Almería, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
There are people living there from 30,000 years ago, but the present location is from the 15th-16th centuries, when some Moriscos and some Christians came to live in the present Fatín area, and then they expanded around the church and the town hall. But the greatest development was during the 18th and 19th centuries, when were built the straightest and largest streets, with the most luxurious buildings.
