Martos Olive Festival

Since 1981 to date, every December 8th, the Fiesta de la Aceituna (Olive Festival) has been celebrated. This event has been declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in Andalusia. A good time to publicize and promote the rich and ancient culture of the olive grove. In its origins, the celebration of this festival highlighted the date of the beginning of the olive harvest; it was a festive preamble to the beginning of the task of harvesting and to this day, is a tribute to the men and women olive growers who work our sea of olives.
