Los Romanes in the Axarquia
Los Romanes is in a dramatic setting overlooking overlooking Lake Vinuela with a population of only 600.
There are fantastic views over the lake towards the backdrop of the Sierra Tejeda mountains.
Los Romanes hosts three main annual festivals and many smaller ones throught the year. The first festival is in the first weekend of May which involves a 4 kilometre procession following a scenic route around the lake.

The next fiesta takes place in June in the market square where flamenco, dancing and food and wine are provided by the Town Hall for free.
The main town festival takes place in mid-August when again different types of music plus flamenco are performed but this time huge pans of paella are cooked in the streets.
Refreshments and tapas are provided free-of-charge along the way. This three day event finishes in a picturesque spot beside the lake with camping, BBQs, picnics, beer tents, horse shows and other amusements and attractions. Well worth a visit.
