Discover Aracena

Aracena, the capital of the Natural Park Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche, is one of the most spectacular and recommended stops on the Huelva South Way. The village, with white houses, is dominated by its imposing Moorish castle and the Prioral Church, which offer exceptional panoramic views. However, its greatest treasure lies underground: the Cave of Wonders, one of Spain's most beautiful visitable caves, with subterranean galleries and lakes of breathtaking beauty. For the pilgrim, Aracena is an oasis of nature, history, and above all, gastronomy. It is the birthplace of Iberian black pork, and enjoying this delicacy in its drying rooms and restaurants is an unforgettable experience. The locality has excellent services, accommodations, and a vibrant tourist atmosphere. It's a stop that justifies itself alone, a place to replenish strength and delight the senses before the final stages leading onto the Via de la Plata. A gem on the Way of St James.
