This little village of about
500 inhabitants is located at over nine hundred metres, receiving
the popular name of “The Pyrenees of the South”.
The contrast between the rock and the humid vegetation created
an spectacular landscape in which the most splendid steep cliffs
in the province of Málaga can be found.
Its orography and its distance from the capital converted these
lands into great shelters for bandits during the Nineteenth
Century.
Here you can visit the Parish Church of “El
Santo Cristo de Cabrilla”, the archaeological sites at
the gorge of the “Sabar River” and south of the
“Tajo Gómer” and the natural itinerary of
the route of the cliffs (“La Ruta de los Tajos”).
Furthermore, pictorial remains are in many of the numerous caves
and shelters of the place: “Cuevas del Chamizo”,
“La Morronquera”, “Pela Horá”,
and the shelter of “Cortijo de la Cueva”…
The festive calendar began with “La Candelaria”
in February. In spring, continues with “la Romería
de San Marcos” (15th May). And, above all, the festivities
of the 29th of September in honour of “San Miguel”.
Fried goat (chivo frito), “migas”,
“setas de cardillo” together with the traditional
“roscos de San Marcos”, complete its varied and
succulent gastronomical offer.
