Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

Marchena

According to tradition, the apostle Santiago el Mayor (James the Greater) preached in the region of Ursaona (before the year 43), and San Arcadio, patron saint of Osuna, was a disciple and follower of the pilgrim apostle.

Lora de Estepa

After leaving Pedrera along the Polvorín and Cesteros roads, you come to one of the white villages, surrounded by numerous archaeological sites in the adjacent municipalities.

Alcalá de Guadaíra - Sevilla

The Campiña extends through the eastern part of the Guadalquivir and has witnessed the growth of a town of mixed cultures like Hispalis itself: Alcalá de Guadaíra.

Mairena del Alcor

To reach Seville via the Alcores, you still have to cross El Viso and Mairena del Alcor. It is still an area of cereals, vineyards, olive groves and sheep farming, with raised areas of land that have been strategic places since ancient times, where fortresses such as the Moorish castle of La Luna were built.

Sevilla

At the end of the path among olive groves, the smell of olives and oil, you join the El Rayo path to cross the canal of the Lower Guadalquivir and enter Seville.

Once in the city of Seville, you can link up with the Mozarabic Camino de Santiago: the Vía de la Plata (Silver Route).

El Coronil

Following part of the Cañada Real (Royal Cattle Track) from Ronda to Seville to the castle of Las Aguzaderas and hearing the echoes of the distant past of fortresses, strategically placed to watch over and defend the Track, you come to El Coronil. The Romans built a bridge here over the river Guadalete, whose stones have survived the passing of the centuries intact.

Utrera

Among dehesas with herds of pigs and a few fighting bulls, you reach Utrera, the birthplace of famous flamenco artists, the romantic bandit Diego Corrientes, and men of letters such as Rodrigo Caro and the Álvarez Quintero brothers.
