Why Indalo?

The Indalo Man is an ancient symbol found in the province of Almeria, Spain, over 100 years ago. It is believed to date back some 4500 years. It was first 'found in the Las Velez mountain range of northern Almeria province in a caved known as La Cueva de los Letreros (Cave of the Signboards), near Velez Blanco, by Antonio Gongónia y Martinez in 1868. The cave itself was made a Nationa Historic Monument in 1924. The symbol is said to date back to Neolithic times and depicts a man holding a rainbow in his arms, over his head. It is believed that the Indalo represents a god holding the rainbow in his open arms in an apparent pact of protection with man. “Indalo” is derived from the Latin, “Indo Eccius”, which means “Messenger of the Gods”.

The Indalo has taken on a new level of symbolism in its long existence. First known as a protector or good luck charm, its adoption by the intellectual and artistic community of the Mojacar area during the mid-20th century has also made it synonymous with rejuvenation, rebirth, and hope.
