Turrillas is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
The township is built quite high up on the north facing slopes of the Sierra de Alhamilla. It is accessed either by a winding road from Lucainena de las Torres or from a road off the main Sorbas to Tabernas road.
From Turrillas there are views of the opposite Sierras, the Sorbas basin and of the agricultural land use; such land use is primarily revolves around olive production and some almond production. For those interested in agricultural practices there is evidence of old terrace agriculture on the hillside adjacent to the town and also evidence of a qanat irrigation system on the alluvial fan directly below the town.
The town's river, the Turrillas River, flows nearby and is sourced from the town of Coy.
