El Gastor is a municipality and town in Spain, located in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia. It is part of the White Villages Route and is located in a privileged natural environment, between the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and the countryside. El Gastor is also known for its local crafts, highlighting the Gastor bagpipes and the pleitas. In addition, its gastronomy is based on agricultural and livestock products typical of the area. The municipality has been a place of passage for different cultures throughout history, such as the Greeks, Betic-Romans, Visigoths, Andalusians and Arabs, with archaeological evidence of each of these stages. The origin of the name "El Gastor" has been related to the cult of Castor and Pollux from Roman times, although it has also been proposed that it comes from the evolution of the word "Qastur" or "Castuera" used in the Middle Ages, to which the article was finally added to.
