Igualeja is on the road which connects La Costa del Sol with Ronda, with a population of about 1.000 inhabitants, has a labyrinthine, urban setting, with winding streets and low- lying houses.
Igualeja is surrounded by an environment on which there is an abundance of chestnut trees and which is so uneven that it hardly leaves any possibilities for any other agricultural use.

Concerning to the history of this place, there are mentions of the Arabs as the first to settle in the town, by then belonging to the Cora of Takuranda. Later on it came under the jurisdiction of Ronda as the feudal estate of the Infante Don Juan.

Here we can visit the Church of Santa Rosa de Lima, built on a mosque during the Sixteenth century.

The festivity of the Holy Week is worth reviewing in Igualeja, especially the Corpus procession. Then “Las Fiestas Grandes” take place on the 23rd of August, in honour of Santa Rosa de Lima, and on the 12th of March, in honour of San Gregorio.

The most appreciated dishes of its gastronomy are “El Salmorejo”, “las gachas”, “las migas” and “el gazpacho”.
