Alora festivities

'Virgen de las Flores' feast takes place the 8th of September. In June is celebrated the festivity in honor of San Paulino and later, in July, the 'Festival de Cante Flamenco'. But the main feast of this municipality is the 'Despedia' (easter Friday). Hundreds of visitors go to see how the thrones of the Virgin and the Christ are transferred in a race to the Castle.

Alora also celebrates a gastronomical feast that has been consolidated like one of the most important in the province, the 'Dia de las Sopas Perotas', dedicated to the most traditional dish of Alora. It takes place in the middle of October.
