[2] Records about the town date back to the 13th century, when Alfonso X overran Utrera as part of his conquest of Seville, located 30 km to the northwest.

However, archaeological work shows people have lived on the site since pre-Roman times.

Utrera is considered the cradle of the fighting bull and the flamenco, and there are many cattle farms in its municipal district.

Utrera is also known for the mostachón, a kind of small flattened cake made with sugar and cinnamon.

The monthly distribution of rain corresponds to the one typical of the Mediterranean climate; the rainy season takes place during the autumn and the winter.
