When the olive or vineyard workers in Torrox heard the Seashell being sound they new it was time to regain their strengths. Everybody would get together around the large pan in the cortijo (Spanish large farmhouse) where the owner would prepare the "migas". It is a very economical and ideal meal to help you through the remainder of the day. Las migas is prepared with corn flower (or a loaf of bread that is at least a day old), oil and water. In Torrox they serve it with arriera salad, comprising of tamatos, orange slices and olives.
The Fiesta is celebrated on the Sunday before Christmas day. This is a lasting tradition and a happy excuse for the municipal of Torrox to receive about forty thousand visitors every year making this fiesta one of the most popular and most visited gastronomical fiestas in the region. From early in the morning, a large group of migueros are striving to prepare the Migas which will be dealt out with salad in various corners of the municipal after the sounding of the Seashell. The Migas is washed down with wine from barrels selected through a competition held earlier between local producers.
