Abstract
La noticia del alzamiento madrileño del 2 de mayo de 1808 en Málaga desencadenó una
reacción popular con trágicas consecuencias. En Vélez-Málaga la actitud afecta a la causa
francesa de su corregidor creó tal tensión entre los vecinos que la Junta Local Gubernativa
consideró prudente su protección policial y posterior traslado a Granada. Tras el avance de
los ejércitos franceses por Andalucía, José Napoleón I inicia una visita real a las ciudades
andaluzas. Desde Málaga se traslada a Vélez para conocer su singular cultivo de la caña de
azúcar y es recibido con todos los honores. El descontento popular se traslada a la comarca
de la Axarquía, en la que surgen numerosas partidas de patriotas encabezados por rebeldes de
diferente procedencia social pero con el mismo objetivo: arrojar de Andalucía al ejército de
ocupación francés y restablecer en el trono a su legítimo Soberano Fernando VII.
The announcement of the uprising in Madrid, on the 2nd of May, 1808, unleashed a popular response in Malaga, which had tragic consequences. In Vélez-Málaga, the sympathetic attitude of their magistrate to the French cause provoked so much tension among the neighbourhood that the Local Cabinet Meeting cautiously considered to arrange him a police protection and subsequent transfer to Granada. After the advance of the French army through Andalucía, José Napoleón I begin a royal visit to the Andalusian cities. From Málaga he moves to Vélez, in order to know about their peculiar sugar cane cultivation; there, he is welcomed with all the honours. Public outcry moves then to the Axarquía region, where many groups of patriots, leaded by rebels coming from different social classes, arise with a same objective: to expel the French occupation army from Andalucía and restore the throne to their legitimate Sovereign, Fernando VII.
