As of June 18, 2008, a series of Windmills are being erected on the mountain range behind Turrillas, to provide power to the National Grid.

Celebrations go late into the night, with a concert taking place on the town square, live music and bars.

There is also a parade on horseback past La ermita de San Antonio, which is situated in the lower part of the town.

La ermita de San Antonio was built in the 17th century, as a remembrance between the battles that took place between the Moors and Christians in this area.

AENA (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea) has a relay outpost situated on the Sierra behind Turrillas, serving Almería Airport, and flights heading in the direction of Africa.
