Sorihuela del Guadalimar

- Inhabitants: 1,456

- Height: 638 m.

- Name of inhabitants: "Sorihueleños"

- Main feature: olive trees

This little village is in the southeast of "El Condado" area. Forests represent half of the municipal extension. The crop area has the olive tree as the main growing product and is situated in the main territory. Economic activity depends on the cooperative industry, the olive tree culture and tourism, which is developed by its good position in the middle of "Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas" natural park.

The people in the village are really friendly and welcoming to guests and visitors. People here like public celebrations. Like in many popular villages there are a lot of popular religious holidays, mainly in summer, such as "Santa Agueda" and "Santa Quiteria".

What I like most is the summer time that I spend there. I play football, basket, etc. with my friends, ride my quad and go out at night.

What I dislike most is the winter time. There are almost no people walking around the streets and the multi- purpose sport centre is closed in winter.

To finish may essay, I would like to say something curious about "Sorihuela" Saint Marco's holiday is an ancient custom consisting on going to the forest to tie the devil, consisting of tying a knot in the grass. This was made to stop the devil.
