Brief historical review of the municipality
The history of Campos del Río is linked to that of Mula.
The first allusions to Campos del Río date from July 4, 1257, when a privilege granted by Alfonso X el Sabio in Alpera yielded Campos, then farmstead, as a village of Mula .. Cedida to Don Sancho Manuel for a census of one thousand maravedis per year , belonged later to the family of the Ayala and the marquises of Corvera and Pinar.
However, the findings of Muslim pottery remains found in the natural park, allow us to assume that the area was already enabled in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
