Utrera is a town in Andalusia in south-west Spain. It is in the province of Seville. As of 2005 it has a population close to 50,000. The town is of great historical interest. Records about the town date back to the 13th century, when Alfonso X overran Utrera as part of his conquest of Seville, located 30 km to the northwest. However, archaelogical work shows people have lived on the site since pre-Roman times. Today the town's five chapels, dating from the 14th to 18th centuries, churches and 14th century castle are popular tourist attractions for visitors to Andalucia. Utrera is considered the cradle of the fighting bull, and there are many famous cattle farms in its municipal district. The area is known for numerous festivities, particularly the fair, which is celebrated during the days before and after the day of Utrera's patron saint: the Virgin of Consolación. This fiesta attracts many people from all over Andalusia and Spain as a whole. Utrera is also known for the mostachón, a kind of small flattened cake made with sugar and cinnamon.
