DISCOVER TABERNO

HISTORY AND ORIGINS

Villa located north of the province of Almeria, in the foothills of the Sierra de la Estancias, between Murcia and Los Vélez. Its population is divided between Taberno and its annexes as Los Llanos, Santopetar, Los Pardos, Rambla de Taberno, El Aceituno, Los Camachos, Los Mundos and Cercanías.

The independence of Vélez Rubio was from 1839. Before there was another attempt of segregation, with the Constitution of 1812, which put as a condition for municipal autonomy that had more than a thousand inhabitants, enough territory and distance from the people close. Taberno met the conditions set by law and began its journey. With the repeal of the 1812 Constitution, it would again depend on Vélez Rubio until the Constitution of 1837, in which its situation was definitively normalized up to the present day.

At the beginning of the century it would have about 2,500 inhabitants. The scarce economic resources caused by the crises of our century meant that emigration was responsible for reducing its current population to less than half. Today favorable conditions are being created for the stability of the population and a hopeful future is presented. In agriculture a series of improvements are taking place, especially in the drilling of new aquifers, which will provide a better development. In livestock, with the goat’s milk cooling center “La Pastora”, it has made possible its sale and commercialization.

A tradition worthy of mention is that of the “Dance of Souls”. The crews are formed on December 13 to prepare the trials. After singing and dancing around the town, the specialty is dances to order, even bargaining is allowed. The money obtained is used to maintain the light of souls. The gangs dissolve after Christmas until the following year. This tradition comes from the beginning of the 12th century, with reviews in the Cadastre of Ensenada from the mid-18th century.

GASTRONOMY

Taberno is a gastronomic reference in both typical foods and traditional sausages, pure goat cheeses and wood-fired pastries.
