Librilla Area Description

Librilla is situated in the Guadalentin Valley, just 23 kilometres from the capital of the Region. The most important festival for this town is celebrated 20th-24th August in honour of the Apostle St. Bartholomew. The most noteworthy event is (rations) when thousands of loaves of bread are thrown from the balconies of the Town Hall, a reminder of when the people were starving. The affair is then completed with a "street flour gathering" ceremony in which the Mayor and other dignities of the town wander from house to house with a band collecting a bag of flour or else its equivalent in cash from each one.
