In the heart of Ubrique we can enjoy the Rafael Alberti Park, which hosts different cultural activities throughout the year and has various recreational areas for all ages.

Located in the namesake square, it has witnessed the passing of the centuries through its walls, although the date of its construction is unknown, as Napoleon’s troops razed the town to the ground in 1810, burning documents and belongings. Next to the main façade is the Carlos III Fountain, built in 1727 to bring water from Benalfí.

Another of the town’s popular religious temples is the Church of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, built between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. Originally dedicated to the patron saint of the municipality, the building is still the headquarters of old guild organizations.

Built at the beginning of the 18th century by Fray Buenaventura, we find the Hermitage of the Calvary, a religious temple located in the Sierra of Ubrique and which served as the last station of the Via Crucis. The building has a viewpoint from which to enjoy the views of the municipality, as well as the geographical enclave of the area.

The archaeological remains of the Roman city of Ocuri are preserved just one kilometer from the historic center of the town, at the top of the Salto de la Mora. Due to its geographical location on such high ground, it is believed that it must have been a municipality of great importance in pre-Roman times, a fact that is also evident in the majesty of the remains that have been preserved.

The Hermitage of Saint Antonio is the oldest sanctuary in Ubrique, as its construction dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. It is considered to be one of the emblems of the town due to its characteristic belfry with its Romanesque style, and contains inside an image of Saint Nicolás de Bari, an object of fervor among the parishioners of Ubrique. From the outside there is access to a viewpoint that affords a beautiful panoramic view of the municipality.

One of the most emblematic buildings that we can visit in the town is the Hermitage of Saint Pedro, one of the most characteristic temples due to its neoclassical architecture. The building was originally intended as a place for health care and later it was used as a place of worship. Finally, the building passed into the hands of the town council, which used the facilities as a public school. It is currently used as the town council’s plenary hall, as well as a wedding venue.

Located in the old cells and in the cloister of the Convent of Capuchinos, we can enjoy the Permanent Exhibition “Hands and Magic in Leather”, which aims to bring visitors closer to the history and development of the leather industry in the town.

One of the most beautiful and visited sites in Ubrique is the Convent of Capuchinos, built in the mid-17th century, the monastery houses in its church a preserved image of the venerated patron saint of the municipality, Nuestra Señora de los Remedios.

The growth of Ubrique in the mid-17th century promoted the construction of larger religious temples to accommodate all the parishioners of the municipality. To this end, the Parish of Nuestra Señora de la O was erected in 1773.

The building was used for religious purposes until it was disassociated from the church during the confiscations of the 19th century, passing into private hands and then being abandoned in the mid-20th century. The Center was bought and restored by the town council and is currently used as a municipal archive where a historical perspective of the local heritage is offered through images and documentation.

It has a network of houses and modest streets close to the lower areas of the Ubrique gorge. An obligatory stop for visitors, throughout the year it hosts different activities such as the Living Nativity Scene, the passing of the brotherhoods during Holly Week or different local festivities of interest. The beauty of its architectural structure made it the setting for a well-known 1949 film about bandits, “The Adventures of Juan Lucas”.

Located in Ubrique and in 2009, the Interpretation Center of the History of Ubrique was inaugurated in the Hermitage of Saint Juan de Letrán.

The leather goods industry is one of the hallmarks of Ubrique, and the production of high-quality leather goods has brought it international fame. To find out more about leather production, visitors to the town can visit the Movex Foundation, which will allow them to learn more about the design and manufacture of leather fashion accessories. In addition, the town is home to the Leather Artisan School, a training center that seeks to prepare high-level professionals to further expand their skills.
