Things To Do In The Area
There are guided tours and
walks around the Sierra De Aracena and Picos De Aroche national
park, or you can get a guide book and go it alone. Local
delicacies include wild mushrooms and, of course, pork products.
It is rare to find menus in English, but we can help.
Whatever time of year, there
is some excuse for a fiesta or procession in this or a nearby
village, sometimes in traditional dress or flamenco style,
sometimes in your best party gear. Everyone is welcome to join
in. During the summer months there is an open air swimming pool.
This region is full of the
little black footed pigs (pata negra) fed on acorns from the cork
trees, making the world famous Iberico Ham. Meals tend to be
authentic (and cheap) local recipes wherever you go with no major
fast food chains for miles around. If you want more than tapas be
prepared to go with the flow and enjoy your surroundings, as main
meals are normally served after 9pm.
Aracena is the nearest big town at 18km away, and has some
spectacular caves called La Gruta De Las Maravillas. On top of
the hill are the ruins of the castle destroyed by Napoleon. It is
in the Sierra De Aracena and has some stunning views.
Alajar has a religious white belltower on top of a hill seen across the entire area as the morning sun strikes it. There are pilgrimages to it in traditional dress on foot and horseback every year.

And a little further away ... 
Beaches near Huelva there are a number of popular beaches
making up what is known as the Spanish Algarve or locally Costa
De La Luz (coast of light).
Portugal is just over the border and has many pretty towns and national park areas of it's own.

Cordoba another historic city with plenty to offer, only
a train ride from Seville.
Cadiz / Jerez are both close to the Doñana national park. Cadiz is the oldest city in SE Europe and has plenty of history.

Rio Tinto mines a striking / ugly but unmissable open
mine area active since before the Romans. Gold, copper and other
minerals are mined here, and the road from there to our home is
split by two lakes: one blue-green and one almost purple, where
the ores colour the water. There is a museum and tour of the
area.
Ronda a town split by a spectacular drop, only a slight
diversion if you are coming from the Malaga area.
Seville a historic and beautiful city centre which has
been in use since before the Romans (pictured the ampitheatre at
Italica). The capital of Andalucia, it has everything to offer
any visitor.
Zufre a local town high on a
mountain edge with water views and rolling mists.
And of course, there is the
weather!
