The beautiful city of aracena

The attractive city

Even though Aracena is not a very popular Spanish city, it surely is a very attractive one. Aracena is the highest town that you will find in the picturesque Sierra Morena and the detail that most attracts visitors to it is the sharp and clear air. However, these are not the only attractions in Aracena, as the 10,000 inhabitants fought during the centuries to keep the traditions alive and to protect the monuments that remained in the city as fingerprints of the past. One of these fingerprints that tell the story of the past of the city is the Iglesia del Castillo, the monument that seems to guard Aracena from the hilltop. The Templar Knights built the church in a wonderful Gothic-Mudejar style on the remains of an imposing Moorish castle. The main sightseeing attraction in Aracena is represented by the Gruta de Maravillas, the largest Spanish cave. The beauty of the cave is absolutely astonishing and there are also a few funny chambers; for example, the last one, the Buttocks’ Room has its ceiling and its walls colored in an unusual pinkish orange.

Other types of attractions in Aracena

What you have to know when you visit Aracena is that the town is located in the centre of the area renowned for the jamon production. It would be a pity to be there and not taste the dishes containing the delicious Spanish ham or the ones that contain snails and wild asparagus. I assure you that your senses will be delighted. The surrounding area is a perfect one for those who love walking; the sierra villages are extremely popular for this activity due to the fact that they are all picturesque, so the views they offer are stunning. Visit Almonaster La Real, Aguafria or Jabugo and try not to miss the fantastic La Mezquita in Almonaster, as it is said that this is the oldest Spanish mihrab.
