Held in the hamlet of Ventas de Carrizal.

Held since 1983, this festival has given a major boost to tourism and gastronomy in the town. Among the many activities organised is a free tasting of various products based mainly on cherries.

After the religious ceremony, the festive events are usually centred around a bonfire, with food and drink shared around it, contributed by everyone who gathers at the site of the bonfire.

During this celebration, young people usually "jump over the fire".

During the first days of August, various leisure, sporting and cultural activities are held as part of the Cultural Week leading up to the main days of the festival, which fall roughly between 11 and 15 August.

Open-air dances and the traditional bull runs take place, with the animals later fought in the afternoon bullfighting events.

These days are marked by the return of many locals of Castillo de Locubín now living elsewhere.

These are the patron saint festivities in honour of the Virgen de Consolación, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

This is one of the main hallmarks of a Castillo de Locubín town. The competition welcomes visual artists from every corner of Spain and beyond. It is one of the most prestigious in Andalusia and one of the three most important of its kind at national level.

Holy Week in the province of Jaén preserves its history, tradition, art and popular religion. Its brotherhoods and confraternities hold a rich and precious legacy, an essential part of the province's Artistic and Cultural Heritage. It combines Castilian restraint with, on the other hand, Andalusian splendour. The majesty and beauty of the sculptural quality of its religious imagery are also remarkable.

With the arrival of Easter in Cambil, a period of religious events and traditional customs begins, filling our town with the scent of incense.

It is curious to see the escort given to Christ by the Roman soldiers, here called the “armaos”, who spend a whole day not leaving the church, eating the traditional “bacalao encebollao” in the sacristy, and where it was once customary for the priest and choirmaster to sing the “Sermón de Madrugada” on Good Friday, made up of the “Confortación del Ángel”, “la Sentencia de Pilatos” and the text of “El Cronista”.

The following events and processions can be enjoyed:

It begins with the imposition of ashes on «Ash Wednesday«, when young and old alike attend church, marking the start of the events preparing us to experience the Passion and Death of Jesus of Nazareth.

Friday of Sorrows: Although nowadays the venerated image of the Virgen de Dolores is not carried in procession, in previous decades the carving of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores was indeed carried, a carving dating from the early 20th century, now located in the right-hand chapel of the church, alongside San Juan and Jesus on the Cross.
Palm Sunday: With the blessing of olive branches and palm fronds, a procession makes its way through the streets of Cambil, just as Jesus once did upon his entry into Jerusalem. The Eucharist is then celebrated at the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, marking the start of Holy Week in Cambil.

On Monday, religious activities are held at the parish church.

Holy Tuesday: Close to dawn, the image of Christ on the Cross is accompanied along a Way of the Cross that passes through the town's neighbourhoods. With the penitential stations, Christ pauses to recall the journey from his arrest to his death on the Cross. Fires lit by residents illuminate the way of this processional retinue. In a silence broken only by the words of those reading the penitential stations and by prayers, these are the only sounds giving way to the most representative events of Holy Week in Cambil.

Holy Wednesday: Procession of the Cristo del Perdón, the procession of Christ bound to the column, follows the official route.

Holy Thursday: At six in the evening, the Eucharist begins, marking the start of Christ's final hour. After the liturgical events, the procession of El Cautivo, San Juan and the Virgen de los Dolores follows the official route — the same route followed by all subsequent processions, except that of Nuestro Padre Jesús, which passes through the Plaza de la Moraleda.

Early hours: the «Sentencia de la Muerte de Cristo», sung by the men of Cambil, in a moving act of faith, sends Jesus of Nazareth to his death on the cross. Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno then processes, followed by San Juan and the Virgen de los Dolores. Worth noting is «el encuentro» (the meeting) that takes place in the Plaza de la Constitución between the three images, a heartfelt moment bringing Cambil together with Jesus, his friend, and his mother.

Good Friday: At five in the morning, wooden ratchets announce the Holy Offices of Jesus. With the death of Christ, his offices begin, followed by the procession of the Santo Sepulcro, Jesus on the Cross (Cristo de la Misericordia), San Juan and the Virgen de los Dolores. The Virgin Mary sets out at eleven at night in what is known as the «Procesión de la Soledad», in which Cambil bears witness to the grief of a mother who has lost her son.

Holy Saturday: At eleven at night, the preparatory events begin, culminating in Jesus's victory over death. Glory Saturday marks Jesus's triumph over death, symbolised by the bonfire and the light of candles lit from a fire, whose ashes are kept so that the following year's «Ash Wednesday« can be celebrated once again.

Easter Sunday: After the Eucharist, a procession is held with the image of the Risen Christ, bringing to a close the religious events held in Cambil for Holy Week.

In the hamlet of Arbuniel, the «Encuentro« (Meeting) stands out, a procession dramatising the passing of San Juan, the Virgin and the Risen Christ.

The Ultra Mágina Top Trail is a highly demanding, technical race covering more than eighty kilometres, with a cumulative elevation gain of almost five thousand
metres. It crosses the Sierra Mágina Natural Park, taking in its most iconic peaks, including Pico Mágina: the highest point in the province of Jaén, at 2,167 metres altitude.

As in much of the province of Jaén, this festival is deeply rooted in Cabra, although it retains some distinctive features.

On the night before 17 January, the feast of San Antón, residents gather around the bonfires, and during the evening eat rosquillas and cured meats from the pig slaughter, drink wine from a wineskin or porrón, fire shotguns into the air, and young men jump over the bonfires, forming circles around the fire together with the young women.

In the days beforehand, countless "zagales" (young lads) can be seen around the streets carrying bundles of firewood, wood from old furniture, or large olive branches from pruning, stockpiling enough material to make their bonfire a worthy one, with flames reaching as high as possible — as they say around here, "burning San Antón's beard".

Although January days here are cold, the atmosphere it creates is very warm, with the haze produced by the smoke and the smell of burning wood taking over the whole town, encouraging the people of Cabra to celebrate and bid farewell to Christmas, since, as the saying goes, "until San Antón, it's still Christmas".

Feast day of Nuestra Señora de la Purificación; a procession used to be held, but once the image of the Purificación disappeared during the Civil War and with no brotherhood left to organise it, the custom died out. It was also a day on which bonfires were lit, as with San Antón or Santa Lucía. Long before that, the custom of the monumental cake distributed by the town hall had already been lost.

The most enduring tradition has been for families to attend church carrying wicker baskets decorated with rosemary and almond blossom, holding the traditional Candelaria bread rings; children, meanwhile, carry these rings threaded and richly decorated, usually oven-baked and made with flour, egg, sugar and toasted oil. At the end of the service, those attending raise their sweets so that the priest, walking along the rows of pews, can bless them.
