Velez Rubio

The assortment of historical and monumental sites in Velez-Rubio has been designated a Cultural Interest Resource, so the traveller must take time for so much beauty. The Encarnación church is outstanding as is the Fatín neighbourhood with its narrow winding streets surrounded by water and meadows.

Move leisurely about the town, and stop in one of the taverns to enjoy a nice plate of veal or migas soaked with good wine and let them tell you know in Vélez rubio you have to be careful or you will wind up in prison. On 28 December a group of residents issues a public notice announcing punishments for their neighbours and more than one finishes the fiesta in a cell in the Town Hall. You have nothing to fear though during Holy week which is deeply ingrained in the community and has great tradition and popularity.
