Manor houses

Natural wines from Colmenar. Pedro Ximénez, sweet wines, etc.
The building that currently houses the Francisco Blanco winery is one of the oldest in Colmenar: in the past it was the village school and it seems that it was also the prison. It has recently been refurbished, and a space has been created that can be visited as a small ethnographic museum, with tools used in farming and grape harvesting.

The town has an interpretation centre dedicated to the promotion of beekeeping, located in the former headquarters of the Brotherhood of Farmers. The Honey Museum houses thematic rooms, a classroom-workshop, a shop and the offices of the Malaga Beekeepers' Association. Its installations have explanatory panels, seven large screens and large-scale reproductions of beehives and a bee measuring more than two metres.

Recoleto garden at the top of the village, located next to the Church of the Assumption, from where you can enjoy wonderful views.

The main entrance to the village is crowned with the so-called "Puerta de La Cruz". This consists of an artistic monolith that greets and welcomes us under a belfry with a semicircular arch that crowns it.

Colmenar is rich in finds from the Roman and Arab periods. There was a necropolis, located near the village, of small rectangular megalithic cists, which could not be conveniently dated chronologically or culturally because they had been plundered, but apparently corresponded to burials that had contained, together with the ceramic grave goods, skeletal remains in the foetal position.

Construction began in the 16th century and was completed in the middle of the following century. It is a temple with three naves separated by semicircular arches bent on square pillars. Of the three chapels, the one on the epistle side stands out for its baroque style. On the outside, the three-part bell tower stands out.
