La Cimada: Holiday Apartment Between Wine and Culture

If you would like to get to know La Cimada at a culturally significant time, the traditional Cruces de Mayo on 15, 16 and 17 May are the main focus. The celebrations include numerous activities for residents and visitors of all ages. The programme includes musical performances, traditional activities, a mass and a traditional procession; a paella is also planned for Saturday. For your own planning, you can distinguish the festival dates, music, procession and paella as separate programme items.

Culture

Another cultural connection leads to the historic “Sevillanas de La Cimada”. During the recording, members of La Cimada’s cultural association performed up to seven sections of these old Sevillanas. The historic “Sevillanas de La Cimada” are intended to be included in the Audiovisual Encyclopaedia of the Folklore of Málaga. If you would like to organise these topics for your own travel planning, you can distinguish between a festival programme scheduled for specific dates and the preservation of historic music.

Wine and History

The connection with the location is also specific when it comes to wine. Bodegas Morosanto is a winery on the former Cortijo Morosanto estate in La Cimada. The estate covers around 30 hectares and is mainly used for winegrowing; olive trees and holm oaks also grow there. Bodegas Morosanto offers an enotourism visit with a guided tour of the winery and a guided wine tasting. The combination of a tour and tasting defines a clear visit format without reducing winegrowing to a single perspective.

The Morosanto estate includes a Roman wine press that belonged to a slave villa dating from the 1st to the 5th century. For travel planning, you can consider winegrowing and the Roman connection as separate focal points.

Landscape

The area around La Cimada is hilly; large cereal fields alternate with dehesas of holm oaks. The area also has numerous irrigated gardens and olive groves due to the water resources of the Guadalcobacín River. When planning your trip, you can weigh these landscape features independently of the cultural events and the wine experience. Depending on your interests, the terrain, land use, and the water-influenced gardens and olive groves can be considered separately.

When planning a holiday apartment in La Cimada, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies on the accommodation listing pages. The choice of accommodation can be based on the specific details of the respective offer, while planning your time in the area can take cultural, culinary and landscape highlights into account alongside one another.
