These nomadic tribes found shelter, hunting, wild fruits, wood and water sources for their sustenance in the mountain shelters.

As they learnt to domesticate plants and animals, they moved down to the foothills of the sierra in search of land more suitable for cultivation. Hence, during the Neolithic period (between 6,800 and 3,000 B.C.), there were important settlements in the vicinity of the present-day town centre of La Carolina, such as: El Ochavo, El Minado, El Puntal, El Tinte and Cortijo de Amelia.
