Located just 70 kilometres form the Malaga capital, Humilladero lies within the depression of Antequera.

It has a population of 2.700 inhabitants and it’s economy is based on the cultivation of dry fruit, especially the olive grove.

The foundation of the town dates back to the Fifteenth Century, but more reliable information is found in the inscription which forms the basis of “La Cruz del Humilladero”, situated in the town’s entrance and whose origins date back to 1618.

Here you must visit “La Cruz del Humilladero”, and the parish church and the shrine of the Apostole Santiago in “Los Carvajales”.

The festive calendar starts with the celebration of the carnival. In the month of June, the Fair of “San Juan” takes place and one month later they celebrate an emotional tribute to all those who had to leave these parts. Finally in October, the traditional “Romería” in honour of “Nuestra Señora del Rocío”.

Here there’s nothing better than the local products like: hard pork sausages, “morcillas”, salami, all of which is home- produced.
