A picturesque village in the Axarquia region of Malaga, it is a cultural treasure reflecting its rich Moorish past and its deep-rooted tradition of sultana production. Its name, derived from the Arabic "Al-Machar", meaning "place of meadows", evokes its fertile natural environment. Despite its size, Almáchar offers a fascinating insight into Andalusian culture, with landmarks such as the Mudejar-style church of San Mateo and the Raisin Museum, which pays homage to the local tradition of sultana production, a high-quality product recognised with a Protected Designation of Origin. The festival of San Mateo, celebrated in September, is a vibrant display of the devotion and festive spirit of its inhabitants, with processions, music and traditional dances. The local gastronomy, based on fresh local produce such as olive oil, almonds and sultanas, offers authentic flavours to delight the most demanding palates, such as gazpacho, ajoblanco (cold soups) and sweets made with sultanas. The natural environment of Almáchar, surrounded by mountains and olive groves, invites you to practice outdoor activities and enjoy nature in its purest form. In short, Almáchar is a cultural destination that combines history, tradition, gastronomy and nature, offering a unique experience to those seeking to discover the essence of the Axarquía region of Málaga.
