Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, Cartama

Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios - the town's patron saint - is still a focus of reverent pilgrimage for devout locals, and is perched high above Cártama's twisting streets. The shrine is well worth the visit and can be reached by climbing the vertiginous zig-zag path from the main square near the Pilar Alto Fountain. If it is a hot day, take some water along for the climb.

With a population of roughly 4000 inhabitants, its relatively small number of inhabitants does not reflect the amount of beauty and archaeological heritage.

Gold & Silversmiths

Traditional gold and silversmiths producing religious articles are still very active in towns of the region such as Granada. The craftsmen are famous for their work, for which they draw inspiration from the city's highly varied cultural and historical background. Cordoba, however, is the leader in gold and silver work, producing 60% of Spain's jewellery, in a vast number of tiny workshops, each with their own designs and techniques.

Almerimar Golf
