Riogordo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Riogordo is a small town and municipality of around 3,000 inhabitants in Málaga province, Spain. It is situated in the centre of a subregion known as Axarquía (pronounced Ah-sar-key-a) that runs east and inland of Málaga as far as Nerja. Nestled in the low-lying mountains (between the Montes de Málaga and the higher sierras), it is almost one of the classic Andalusian "white villages". It is equidistant between Málaga and Vélez-Málaga, both of which are little more than 30 minutes by car.

The town hosts the "El Paso" festival at Easter (Semana Santa), a reenactment of the crucifixion which has a cast of hundreds, mostly local villagers.
