Cazalla is located in the heart of the Natural Park. Its outstanding cultural importance is based on its history, which has provided it with a unique monumental and ethnological wealth.

El Pedroso

Human presence in the area of El Pedroso can be dated back to the Palaeolithic period, thanks to the discovery of flint arrowheads. The Neolithic megalithic culture was also present in the area, as has been confirmed by the recent discovery of a tholos. El Pedroso, like most towns in the area, gained importance after the Reconquest.

The walk begins and ends in the village of El Pedroso and crosses the curious area of granite outcrops known locally as montonás. At the beginning, on the right, there is an oil mill, closely followed by the remains of old granite quarries.

With the arrival of September and the beginning of the autumn season, nature allows us to witness one of the most striking and surprising natural events that can be seen in the province of Seville: The bellow of deer.

The importance of the iron mining sector in Andalusia during its heyday is made clear at this old mining site. It consists of an old mine, active until the mid-20th century, as well as lifts, shafts and galleries (some transitable).

The River Viar is one of the tributaries of the right bank of the Guadalquivir, which it joins between Cantillana and Villaverde del Río. Its source is in the Extremadura municipality of Monesterio, and it is 124 km in length.
