Estepa

Located in southeastern Seville Province, Estepa extends across the northern slopes of Sierra del Becerro mountains with a population of 12,631 residents.

The settlement underwent multiple transformations, from Astapa during Carthaginian rule to Ostippo under Romans and Istabba during Moorish occupation until 1241.

The town produces traditional Spanish Christmas sweets called mantecados and polvorones, manufacturing approximately 18 million kilograms of these confections annually.

The municipality contains 9,500 hectares of olive groves, generating an annual production of 24 million kilograms of olive oil for distribution.

In 208 BCE, the local population conducted a mass suicide rather than surrender to advancing Roman forces during the Punic Wars.
