Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

San Nicolás del Puerto

After leaving the station of Cazalla de la Sierra and continuing along the banks of the Huéznar and the Sierra Norte Greenway you come to the Heladillas before entering San Nicolás del Puerto. The road linking Mérida with Seville used to run through the town.

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).

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.

Cazalla de la Sierra

The Romans founded the town of Callentum which, with the arrival of the Moors, was renamed Castalla. This town, known for its aniseed and cherry liqueurs, can be considered the centre of the Sierra Norte park, and in the surrounding area numerous traces of settlements from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods have been found.

El Pedroso

After crossing the Cordel del Pedroso, the Dehesa Alta, Los Gamos and the Loma de la Mimbrera you come to this town. It seems that this area was colonised by the Romans, attracted by the richness of its soils, although its greatest boom came with the opening of an iron foundry in the 16th century.

Alcolea del Río

Bordering the course of the Guadalquivir, at the bend where it is joined by the waters of the Corbones, is Alcolea del Río, the site of the prosperous Roman cities of Canama and Arva. The mills in the area of La Aceña, the church of San Juan Bautista, and the charm of the irregular, white, geranium-festooned walls of its houses are its most striking features.

Lora del Río

The Guadalquivir meanders and, downstream, the reeds and rushes outline the silhouette of Lora del Río. The Turdetani archaeological site and the remains of Carthaginian, Roman, Visigoth and Moorish settlements bear witness to the importance of this river port since ancient times (Tartessian settlement of the Mesa de Setefilla).
