Riogordo is a white village located in the Upper Axarquía. One of its popular gastronomic events pays tribute to the village's typical dish, snails in broth.

The festival is celebrated on the last Sunday of May, where over 450 kilograms of snails in local-style broth are tasted for free. The tradition is known for using mountain snails fed with aromatic herbs, cooked with fennel, thyme, oregano, and orange peel.
