Casabermeja is located just a few kilometres from Málaga, on the Pedrizas Road, settled on a privileged natural environment, in which the Sierra of “El Torcal” and “La de Cabras” stand out.

Megalithic graves and cave paintings have been found in “El Cerro Mogea” in Chapera and in “El Cortijo del Hospital”.

The Romans, whose remains can be found in the fountains of “Las Parras” and of “La Cotonilla”, and the Arabs, of whom remains of Mozarabic settlements exist in Chapera Alta, Colmenar and Jotrón, all passed through the area. In fact its name derives from the Arabic term Q´sar Bermeja, which means “Red Castle”.

Here you can visit the cementery of “San Sebastián”, declared Historical- Artistic Monument in 1980; “La Torre Zambra”, Arabic building from the Thirteenth Century; and the pictorial collection “Peñas de Cabrera” of exceptional archaeological value for its cave paintings.

Its most important feast is celebrated on the 20th of January, in honour of its Patron Saint, San Sebastián. On the 25th of April came the August Fair; and the flamenco singing festival, on the second- last week, at the end of September.

Here it is possible to distinguish between the winter dishes, like “las migas” and the summer ones, like “el gazpacho” and “la olla de era”.
