It recreates traditional village life in the early 20th century, displaying tools such as pruning shears, esparto grass ropes, mallets, and a sieve for sorting the sultanas. Work tools such as hoes, axes and carving tools are also on display, as well as farming footwear from the 1920s. The museum includes items such as bread kneaders and antique utensils, as well as a collection of lithographs on the history of the sultana trade.

Parish of San Mateo

Almáchar, Málaga

The parish church of San Mateo is a building that has stood in the centre of the village since the 16th century.

It is of gothic renaissance style, it has three naves, inside we can find two rococo style dressing rooms with images of the "dolorossa" and the heart of Jesus.

There is a main altar where the Cristo de la Misericordia or Cristo de la Banda Verde (Christ of Mercy or Christ of the Green Band) is located and there is a tradition that attributes to him the salvation of some sailors who were shipwrecked on the coast.

On the outside of the church, above the entrance door, is the Mudejar-style curved tower.

Goat Street

Almáchar, Málaga

The first settlements in this village took place along the banks of the river, and they gradually climbed up the hillside, often using the front house as a support.

The buildings are low, with one or two floors at most, masonry, tiled roofs and an interior courtyard.

In the labyrinth of its narrow streets, the Calle de Los Mártires stands out, surrounding the church which, in order to overcome the difference in level, was built on the same street, resting on a barrel vault that joins the church with the house in front of it.
