Welcome to Baza! Welcome to Baza!
History
Situated in the north of the Granada Province, is the town of Baza, the capital of the overall area of the same name. The other, smaller villages in the Baza area are: Benamaurel, Caniles, Cortes de Baza, Cuevas del Campo, Cúllar, Freila, and Zújar.
Baza, 19th-22nd February, 2013
Baza town sits at an altitude of 844 metres about sea level and has a population of around 23,000 inhabitants; accounting for almost 50% of the overall 45,000 population of the entire region of Baza. One of the most appreciated aspects of this magical main town of Baza is the towering mountain at just 12 kilometres away, which dominates the landscape like a protective watchtower. This natural backdrop of the surrounding mountains of the Sierra de Baza and the Sierra de Castril is simply breathtaking. When taking it all in, it is hard to believe that you are a mere 107 kilometres from Granada City and not more than an hour’s drive from the busy coast.
Natural environment
The Climate
The contrasting landscapes are emblematic of this area: from the Sierras (Mountain areas) officially declared Natural Parks in 1989, to the arid ‘Bad lands’ of the plateau that forms the Altiplan and then across the vast fertile valley in all its verdant glory. With this simple natural environment comes a peculiarly interesting heritage of cave houses, inhabited since time immemorial and now becoming a much sought after retreat for the rural tourist. The people of Baza, still live by and celebrate many ancient customs and traditions mainly linked to religion, farming and agriculture.
The winter temperatures average out at just below 10ºC over a five to six month period. It is normally dry and cold, with intermittent bouts of snow and ice. The summers are dry and warm with an average temperature of just above 25ºC, with higher temperatures during the hottest month of August. Although it tends to be generally dry, there is usually some rainfall in the spring and autumn. There are often summer storms towards the end of August and beginning of September. The whole area of Baza can be intensely hot and extremely arid in the summer months.
In June of 2003, Baza was officially declared to be of national historic interest. The Muslim Medina and ancient fortress, Alcazaba, still exist in Baza and in the surrounding old quarter there are evocative place names, such as ‘Algedid’ (the San Juan quarter), ‘Al Rabal al –Hedar’ and ‘Marzuela’ where the Arab Baths are. It is a sheer pleasure to walk through these ancient narrow streets and historic fortifications, as it is to visit the many interesting monuments and buildings. As well as civil and military architecture, there are also numerous churches, most of which were built during the 16 th Century after the War of Granada and the Christians clearly wanted to leave their mark after the ousting of the Moors.
Gastronomy in Baza Solid home cooking is the underlying theme of dishes you will come across in Baza. The colder winter climate calls for stews made with fresh vegetables, game and other meats. Try the ‘Gachas Tortas’, which is a hot past dish containing rabbit, onions, garlic, peppers, potatoes, white wine and olive oil. If you see ‘Gurupina’ on a menu, you will be able to sample a wonderful local dish including ingredients such as fish (cod), potatoes, onions, wild mushrooms and flour. ‘Testuz’ is another warming dish based on broad beans, white beans, black pudding, pig’s ear, potatoes and garlic. This is not a dish for someone on a low cholesterol diet, as extra fat is added to give full flavour! Due to the continental climate of the area, the local cold meats and hams are of extremely high quality. Capers also feature in many of the recipes from salads to sauces, since these grow wild in the surrounding countryside.
As well as having a most wonderful surrounding natural environment rarely found in Europe today, Baza is also a historian’s paradise, having many archaeological remains, such as the Iberian-Roman remains of the city of Basti with two necropolises, in one of which is the famous Dama de Baza. There are also a surprising number of interesting buildings of great historic importance, such as the Arabic Baths (Baños Arabes). 1
The Baza region also has a particularly good reputation for its sweets and desserts. 2

Baza, a land of cinema In 2010, Baza and many of its inhabitants took part in the shooting of the film The Disciple, a new take on the story of Jesus. In Baza, which represents Galilee, the crew filmed the scenes where Saint John accuses Saint Luke of fabricating the story of Christ, in the Baños Árabes.

Dubbing movies and tv shows in Spanish is a major industry in Spain. Despite the fact that Spanish television channels and Spanish movie theaters are packed with products made in Hollywood, the overwhelming majority of that “product” is translated and dubbed into Spanish. U.S. television shows like CSI, Grey’s Anatomy and House are extremely popular with viewers in Spain and Spaniards go crazy for other Anglo pop-culture offerings like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings…but in Spanish, not in English. This is probably one of the single biggest factors why more Spaniards don’t speak English.

The Alhambra, “the red fortress” It is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was constructed during the mid 14th century by the Moorish rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus Did you know that one of the most famous words you can spot all over the city of Granada are these? “Give him alms, my wife, for there is no pain in life greater than that of being a blind man in Granada.” The words describe an old gentleman and his wife who are walking down a street in the Zacatín marketplace. They stroll pleasantly along, taking in the sights and sounds of Granada in the early evening, and they come upon a blind beggar. The gentleman, clearly moved, turns to his wife and says, “Dale Limosna, mujer, que no hay en la vida nada como la pena de ser ciego en Granada.”

Farvel Αντίο
Easter Holy Week is a religious tradition taken very seriously by the people of Baza. The Processions, where the religious images are carried through the streets of the town, are the result of a whole year’s preparations, involving the different church brotherhoods in the area.

There are many local celebrations throughout the year in Baza. One that is particularly popular is the Feria (Town Fair) which lasts from the 6 th to the 15 th September. It opens with the fiesta of ‘Cascamorras’ , which entails a dressed up character coming from the nearby town of Gaudix with the intention of taking away the Virgen de la Piedad – a lively playacting of a long term, 500 year-ld dispute between the two municipalities. The people of Baza (the bastentanos) fight back by throwing paint at their adversaries, making this a particularly colourful fiesta!
I Hope To That’s all Folks! 9
