Purísima Inmaculada Concepción Parish, Alameda

Highlight • Religious Site

With settlements dating back to the Chalcolithic or Eneolithic and Roman thermal times, the rural town of Alameda owes its name to the Los Álamos stream. The Immaculate Conception Immaculate Parish is one of the most important monuments.

Monument "El Tempranillo" Alameda

Highlight • Monument

In the heart of Alameda stands the monument to José María Hinojosa Cobacho, better known as "El Tempranillo," one of the most famous Andalusian bandits of the 19th century. The bronze statue depicts him in a typical rebel and folk hero pose and is located on Calle Álamos, not far from the town center. El Tempranillo was born in 1805 in Jauja, near Lucena, and joined a band of highwaymen at a young age. Over time, he became a legendary figure, both feared and revered by the local population—a symbol of resistance against social injustice.

After being mortally wounded in a raid in 1833, his body was brought to Alameda, where he died and was buried in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The monument and his grave are now part of the "Ruta del Tempranillo," a cultural route that traces the life of the bandit. They are reminiscent of a time when outlaws and folk heroes often lived close together, making Alameda an important place in Andalusian history and legendary culture.

Church of the Immaculate Conception

Highlight • Religious Site

The Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción is the main church of Alameda and is located in the center of the town. It was built in 1633 and expanded several times over the centuries, including the addition of side aisles and a Baroque chapel in the 18th century. The church displays typical elements of Andalusian Baroque, with a simple facade of stone and brick and a striking round-arched portal. The interior features an impressive high main nave, flanked by two lower side aisles, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling, which lends the space a harmonious effect.

The church is particularly famous for being the burial place of the legendary bandit El Tempranillo, who died in Alameda in 1833. It also houses an ornate image of the Virgen de los Dolores, created in 1940 by the sculptor Castillo Lastrucci. The church is now a listed building and is considered one of the most important historical buildings in the area, combining both religious and cultural history.

Roman Baths of Alameda

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman baths are actually a construction that was carried out in two phases. The first dates back to the Chalcolithic period, and at least 37 circular pits or silos have been preserved from this period, which were originally classified as necropolises. The second phase began in the 1st century AD, following the Roman occupation; the baths were built during this period, the main leisure centre of the time.

The exhibition can currently be visited throughout the year from 10:00 to 14:00, from 16:00 to 18:00 (October-March) and from 18:00 to 20:00 (April-September). On Sundays, the hours are from 10:00 to 15:00, and it is closed on Mondays.

Álamos Fountain – Alameda

Highlight • Monument

The Fuente en Álamos - Alameda is a historic fountain located in the heart of the village, marked by a small sign. It was once a central meeting place for the residents, especially for the aguadoras – women who fetched water, skillfully filling jugs directly with running water using a funnel and a long stick. This activity was not only a daily chore but also a kind of original artistry, as described by the writer Francisco Jiménez Conde. The fountain thus symbolizes not only the historical water supply of the community but also the practical skills and traditions of Alameda's inhabitants.

Village of Alameda

Highlight • Settlement

Alameda is a picturesque village that captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere and historically rich surroundings. Encircled by expansive fields and rolling hills, it offers ideal conditions for cycling tours through the Andalusian hinterland. The whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and shady squares lend the village its typical Andalusian charm. At its heart lie the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the Placeta Fountain, reminders of the village's Roman roots.

Alameda is particularly famous for the legend of the bandit José María "El Tempranillo," whose monument and tomb are now popular destinations for visitors. The surrounding area is easily explored by bicycle – passing olive groves, old farmhouses, and quiet paths that offer a glimpse into rural Andalusia. Alameda uniquely combines history, culture, and nature, making it an ideal starting point for peaceful, enriching tours away from the crowds.
