"COLMENAR. Málaga. Andalucía. ESPAÑA. Puerta de la Cruz.
En la principal entrada al pueblo nos recibe un artístico monolito que da la bienvenida bajo una espadaña configurada mediante arco de medio punto que lo corona. En esta construcción se sitúa el escudo heráldico de la villa con la representación de una colmena y siete abejas volando sobre la misma. También podemos ver una escena histórica que nos traslada al 25 de mayo de 1488, fecha en la que fue transferida la heredad de este pueblo por Hamet el Zuque a Francisco de Coalla, bajo el lema “Colmenar: Recio y Noble”.

At the main entrance to the town we are greeted by an artistic monolith that welcomes us under a belfry configured with a semicircular arch that crowns it. In this construction the heraldic shield of the town is located with the representation of a beehive and seven bees flying over it. We can also see a historical scene that takes us to May 25, 1488, the date on which the inheritance of this town was transferred by Hamet el Zuque to Francisco de Coalla, under the motto “Colmenar: Strong and Noble.”
