The fiesta de las Migas (literally: the festival of crumbs) is an occasion to celebrate a very traditional and popular dish. Several regions in Spain have developed a unique recipe.

---

The basic recipe consists of oil, garlic, water, bread crumbs (or flour) and salt! In this link you will find the recipe for las migas (in Spanish), originally a dish for the workers in the fields made from the remains of dry bread crumbs (migas) with some other ingredients. The village of Torrox has made it a local speciality.

Each year 1700 kilos of semolina flour are used to prepare the migas. Of course, the migas will be served with the famous vino del terreno to accompany the dish. There will also be the “arriera” salad (composed of oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, olives).

The Migas festival will begin at 11am in the Plaza de la Constitution.

---

---

Several choral groups will give a concert. At 1.30pm, people will walk to the llano de la Almazara (parking at the top of Torrox pueblo). The party will continue with the official start, which always begins by blowing into a famous mollusc shell.

---

There will be a demonstration by the Panda de Verdiales “Coto Tres Hermanas”. Then, at around 2 p.m., the migas will be distributed for lunch. Then, at 3.30 p.m., in the Plaza de la Constitución, a concert will begin that will continue into the evening.

This fiesta has been declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest in Andalucia.

---

Migas are originally a country dish. The time for eating in the fields was signalled when a man blew into a conch shell (the shell of a large mollusc) to emit a powerful sound across the valley.

---

The same procedure was used to warn of the arrival of rain from one valley to another. The aim was to quickly protect the grapes that were drying in the sun on the paseros.ros).
