The folklore in Alhaurín is represented by the flamenco songs, "fandango from Alhaurin", the "mulliores" and the "pastorales". The "mulliores" is perhaps one of the deepest root of the Alhaurin folklore. Its origin comes from the antique custom of a brotherhood whose main object was to sing the Saint Rosary on the daybreaks of October. The "pastorales" are the typical Christmas Chorus which now are not so popular as they used to be.
