Every first Sunday in December, the municipality of Cuevas Vajas celebrates its unique Purple Carrot Festival, which coincides with the end of the harvest. This celebration usually lasts three days and pays tribute to the town\u2019s most iconic produce: the purple carrot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this festival, local businesses set up stalls to sell traditional local produce and, above all, dishes made with the famous purple carrot. Personally, I love the jam they make, so if you go, I\u2019d recommend you give it a try \u2013 I promise you won\u2019t want to try any other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most important and eagerly awaited celebration for the people of Mollinatos. During this festival, which takes place in the early hours of 1\u20132 February, a bonfire is lit, surrounded by all the local residents, who gather to enjoy traditional foods such as choricillos and sardines. This celebration began as a ritual to protect the harvest from fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, the bonfire is still burning and the \u2018mollinatos\u2019 kick off the party; they carry on until the early hours, dancing, singing and drinking. You\u2019re sure to have a brilliant time if you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This festival has been held in the same way for 300 years as a way of honouring the Divine Shepherdess of the olive harvest. A distinctive feature of this event is that the locals carry the Virgin in a procession, accompanied by baskets of oil set alight, which light up the whole village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migas Festival (Torrox)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
