Badolatosa - Seville

The town of Badolatosa is located on the east of Sevilla, in the neighbourhood of Estepa and at a height of 235 metres. Bordering by Genil river (Cordobilla Dam - Malpasillo Dam ) with Cordovan lands, it is 130 kilometres from Sevilla and because of this distance it is the most distant town of the metropolis, more distant than La Roda de Andalucía (122,6 kilometres), Casariche (121,8 Kms) y Herrera (120 Kms).

In 1.996 it had 3.173 inhabitants; most of them are located in the city centre, while the rest is distributed between the county houses of Burraco and Huertas de la Manga and the village of Corcoya.

The origin of this village seems to come from the roman age, where it was named Latus, which means "wide ford", and it was located in the neighbourhood of Estepa. Later it was a farmhouse that belonged to the Steppe marquisate with the name of Vado, till the abolition of the manors.
