Fuente de Piedra is a typical Andalusian village in the province of Málaga, about 15 km from Antequera and about 70 km from the provincial capital Málaga. About 2500 inhabitants live here.

Local Parties & Festivals
All year round there are special festivals and fairs where you can experience the customs of the Andalusians.
For example, every year in July the “Feria” takes place, which transforms the village for four days into a single fair with bumper cars, dance events and “Miss and Mister elections”.
In September the patron saint’s festival takes place, which attracts riders and their horses from all over Andalusia to a skill competition in the centre of the village. A great experience, which ends with the altar from the church being carried through the whole village at night.
