Built on “La Colina de Don Fabrique” and belonging to the administrative district of Ronda, this small town with a population of some 300 inhabitants.

The name of the town comes from the Arabic language and it means “pleasant place”, a very suitable appellative, especially of late, thanks to the notable increase of its offers for the enthusiasts of rural tourism.

The first information about Farajan dates from the time of the Arabs. In the Sixteenth Century, with the expulsion of the Moors, the territory becomes un- populated until the arrival of Christian colonists from other lands.

Then in 1814, King Fernando VII grants it “Carta de Real Privilegio de Villa” as “award for the perseverance, loyalty, and sacrifices suffered during the War of Independence waged against the French”.

Here you can visit the Church of “Ntra. Sra. Del Rosario”, founded in 1505 and reformed in the Eighteenth Century.

The most important festivity here is the procession of “Nuestro Padre Jesús de Medinaceli” on Good Friday.

Other popular festive dates are the festivity in honour of San Sebastián, between the 4th and 6th of August, and the Feasts of December in honour of “La Inmaculada Concepción”, the town´s Patron Saint.

Here you must taste the dishes like artichoke soup, the cold vegetable soup, “las migas” and rabbit cooked in garlic.
