Lubrin is a picturesque village all year round. It also has a famous Bread festival which is held this week, with the lobbing of the bread happening tomorrow by all accounts.
Here's a bit I found online about the event

How to live San Sebastian 'to the fullest' in the province between bread and gunpowder
Every year, thousands of people visit the town of Lubrín, attracted by one of the most unique and authentic traditions in the province of Almería: the Bread Festival . This is a festival that has been declared of Tourist Interest in Andalusia and stands out for its uniqueness and an unusual but typical gesture in some towns in the north of the province: from the balconies, the neighbours throw breads, donuts and doughnuts while the saint's float advances beneath them.
These are the festivities in honour of San Sebastián that the municipality celebrates every 19th and 20th of January each year. The Bread Festival is not only a religious celebration, but it is also an act full of symbolism. The bread that the neighbours throw from their balconies represents generosity, the act of sharing and unity with the rest of the community.
