September is a special month for the people of Gaucin. Close to our heart and a big part of our tradition, are the festivities in honour of the Holy Child and St John of God. The festivities are celebrated annually on 7th & 8th September.

As part of the festivities, you will have the opportunity to visit the contemporary ceramics exhibition located in the cultural center, El Convento which is taking place until September 29th.

We are delighted to see the return of the Encuentro Gastronómico. Now in its second year, this 3 day event will celebrate the best dishes and tapas of the Serranía. A great event for food lovers!
