The municipality of Fines, with an area of 23 km², is characterized by its traditional approach to marble, as well as other agricultural activities concentrated on the sowing of cereals, grapes and olive trees. Its urban center maintains a traditional aspect. Its proximity to Macael has greatly favored Fines and is the reason for presence of marble in the area. It also has a Museum of Outdoor Sculptures where you can see numerous works of art that have been made with marble throughout history.

Its origins date back to the Copper Age, according to archaeological finds made in the sites known as “Loma de la Estación” and “Rambla de las Horcas”. There are several routes so you can appreciate the remains of the Roman era, all still preserved in this territory favored by nature.

The so-called “Consorcio Escuela del Mármol de Fines” (CEMAF) is located in the town, in which you can admire sculptures of this material designed and manufactured by sculptors from all over the world. They attend an annual contest that enjoys great fame.
