Los Toscanos

Los Toscanos, a flattened hill on the right bank, near the mouth of the Vélez river, near Vélez-Málaga in southern Spain, was the location of an early Phoenician settlement.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

It is believed that, when the settlement was abandoned, the Phoenicians did not leave the Vélez valley, but merely moved across the river to Cerro del Mar.^[6]
