Your most natural destination

Visiting the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche has a special charm at any time of the year. While autumn is the best known time of year, when the falling leaves of the chestnut groves show surprising shades of ochre and brown, spring brings an explosion of colours provided by the numerous floral, tree and shrub species that are present in this vast territory. In both seasons, mycology takes on a special importance, both in rural activities and in the gastronomy of this region. Summer brings the coolness of a climate more typical of the north than of the south, in which this area is located, as well as the richness of its numerous market gardens spread over many villages.

A multitude of paths, shaded by chestnut groves and majestic pastures of holm oaks and cork oaks, link numerous beautiful white villages with a lot of history. Green landscapes all year round, hard to imagine in the rest of Andalusia. Centuries of exquisite coexistence of the local population with the territory have made possible the development of traditional activities, which have given rise to a heritage as varied as it is valuable, presided over by a surprisingly rich gastronomy, where the Iberian pig reigns in its most artisan interpretation.
