Gaucín (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡawˈθin]) is a town and municipality located in the mountains of Andalusia in the province of Málaga in southern Spain.
Easter Sunday celebrations include the traditional 'toro de cuerda', where a bull is released on a cord in the morning and sold in the afternoon.
[citation needed] The village holds a 'cultural week' in late July, with wine and meat tasting, as well as live musical performances in the main square.
The festivities also include a large pavilion where visitors can eat, drink, and watch musicians perform and a procession of horse riders competing for an award for the best presented.
The image of the Holy Child is taken in procession from the castle to the site of his supposed apparition, now a hermitage, for a rociera (flamenco) mass followed by dancing, singing, eating and drinking until dawn.
