Tíjola, with 3,573 inhabitants (INE, 2025), lies in the Upper Almanzora, on the northern face of the Sierra de los Filabres. In Roman times it was called Tagili, as a tombstone found in 1976 recalls, and the remains of three Roman villas lie nearby. In the 19th century the Queen Regent Maria Christina granted it the title of city.
Its band, today the Maestro Lázaro Music Association, keeps records dating back to 1891, and its cultural centre is named after the Tíjola-born opera singer Fidela Campiña. At the table, the local dish rin-ran reigns, and on Saturdays, market day, it is customary to «hacer la media hora»: drinks with friends before lunch.
It celebrates San Sebastián on 20 January, when roscos are thrown to the crowd, and the Virgen del Socorro, its patron saint, with the September fair. In August it dedicates its fiestas to the people of Tíjola who emigrated.
