The Village of Lobres Near Salobrena...

Lobres is situated near the fertile coastal plain bordering the Mediterranean Sea used primarily for growing sugar cane. The views of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains to the north and the dramatic Salobreña seaside cliff capped by the ancient Moorish castle are stunning.

The most notable landmark of Lobres is its principal church, La Iglesia de San Antonio. The church was built in the XVI Century by Ambrosio de Vico, in a distinct Mudejar style of the Moors. An interesting Renaissance doorway and an XVIII Century alterpiece crafted in the Baroque style have been added since then.

Lobres has also gained publicity for its Bronze Age and Neolithic era remains discovered in the nearby Cueva de Capitan, or "Captain's Cave", now on display in the archaeological museum of Granada.

Village celebrations take place every second day of February in Lobres when the Día de la Candelaría is celebrated with a procession, open air dances, and a traditional breakfast of hot chocolate and churros.
