La Cimada: Wine, Landscape and Local Culture

A stay in La Cimada can be planned around specific travel interests: Bodegas Morosanto combines wine production with a guided tasting, while the surrounding area is characterized by hills, grain fields, dehesas, gardens and olive groves.

Wine Production and the History of Morosanto

Bodegas Morosanto offers an enotourism visit that includes a tour of the winery and a guided wine tasting. The winery is located on the former Cortijo Morosanto estate in La Cimada. The estate covers around 30 hectares and is used mainly for wine production; olive trees and holm oaks also grow there. The property therefore brings together vineyards and other tree crops rather than being devoted solely to wine production. For travelers interested in wine, the tour and tasting provide a specific reason to visit; check availability with the winery in advance.

The estate also includes a Roman wine press that belonged to a slave villa dating from the 1st to the 5th century. This historical connection adds a much older layer of winemaking to today’s wine tourism. The press and the current offering therefore represent different periods in Morosanto’s history.

Hilly Landscape and Agricultural Character

The area around La Cimada is hilly. Large grain fields alternate with dehesas of holm oaks, and the water resources of the Guadalcobacín River make numerous irrigated gardens and olive groves possible. Together, these features describe a rural cultural landscape shaped by crop farming, holm oak stands and irrigated land. If you prioritize agricultural landscapes over individual attractions when choosing a destination, the surroundings of La Cimada offer several specific points of interest. The landscape offers a different travel experience from the winery tour: one focuses on the area as a whole, the other on a particular provider and its program.

Cruces de Mayo: A Cultural Reason to Visit

The traditional Cruces de Mayo celebrations offer another cultural point of interest. For the 2026 edition, the dates were set for May 15, 16 and 17; the festival offered numerous activities for residents and visitors of all ages. The program included musical performances, folk activities, a Mass and a traditional procession. A paella was also planned for Saturday. The program therefore included music and folk events as well as religious elements. These dates apply to the 2026 edition; if you plan a future trip around the festival, check the date for that edition.
