In the passing of the centuries, Oropesa has had a great geostrategic location, one with a great interest to other cultures. The first remains found in Oropesa in the Azahar Coasat of Spain date back the Paleolithic era.

Besides the passing of the Iberians, Romans, Arabs and Visigoths we must mention an important moment in the history of Oropesa in the Costa Azahar of Spain. That is the Reconquering of James I, who in 1233 conquered the Castle of Oropesa, a castel that went on to Fernando Perez de Pina in 1259 and then went on to Berenguer Dalmau, Pere de Tous etc...Little by little the locality began to grow around the castle, until in 1589 it was give the denomination of town. Oropesa was a Christian town with many towers like Torre del Rey that were used to defend themselves from pirates and bereberiscos.

In the 19th and 20th centuries the locality began it´s development in 1900, with a population that didn´t even reach 1000. But it grew and in the 20th century it had close to 10,000 inhabitants. In the 21st century, fishing, livestock, and agriculture were the main sources of income, now tourism is also a big source fo this town, especially since Marina D´Or was built specifically for tourists.
