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.
