It is a town we have driven passed many times on the way to Malaga or Campillos so well overdue
for a visit.

The sign above welcomes visitors to "a different place" so we were intrigued to have a look.
As always, we headed for the Centro Urbano (town centre) and easily found a parking place near to the main square, the Plaza Maria Auxiliadora.
At one corner of the Plaza is the 16th century Iglesia Purisima Concepción (Church of the Immaculate Conception).

A train did go through while we were there but otherwise it was very quiet.

The Ayuntamiento/ Casa de la Cultura was very impressive, being opened in 1992.

Inside was equally impressive with offices and rooms all leading of the main atrium.

We can't say that Almargen is the prettiest town we have been to but it was worth stopping to have a look and the Iglesia was definately worth a visit.

Looking back towards Almargen from the road to Cañete. The town is dominated to the north by a huge wind farm that has been developed within the last year or so.
