Saludos Dan Shaffrey   Jose Maria "El Tempranillo" The legend of the bandit "bandalero" Jose Maria, is still celebrated today in Grazalema. fiesta in October. A young man who killed when he was 15 and took to the Sierra De Ronda to evade execution. He rallied a band of men who stole from rich travelers and landowners and then paid handsomely for shelter and food from the poor of the region. He gained his legend for being a courteous, brave and handsome robber. He evaded the kings army for several years and his legend grew. He ran the lands from Ronda to Lucena before he met his wife who died in child birth whilst under attack from the kings men. He tied the new born baby to his back and fled to Grazalema, where the baby as baptized. Jose Maria was pardoned by the king and he became a protector of Andalcuia in 1832, he hunted other robbers and bandits in the area before El Tempranillo was shot by his own men in 1833 at the age of 20 years old.
