Cuevas del Becerro is one of the smallest towns of the province and an ideal location to retire to due to the quiet pace of life and its beautiful landscapes, especially “El Castillejo”, lovely landscape of almond trees in blossom.

Located on a very narrow, limestone spur it’s considered as the northern entrance to “La Serranía de Ronda”.

The origin of its name some investigators believe that it refers to one of the many caves present in the municipal district in which, supposedly so, a golden calf- shaped figure was found.

Here you can visit the ruins of its medieval castle, a small fortress with oval- shaped floors and dating from around the Nineth century, situated on a small, eight hundred metre high, hill which overlooks the town.

The most traditional festivities is “El Día de la Vieja”. The emigrant has its feast day towards the end of July and in “El Día de Tosantos” in November, it is customary to go on excursions to the country- side and to roast chestnuts.

The most appreciated products of Cuevas del Becerro are those derived from the pig- slaughtering season, apart from the typical chickpea stew.
