Trigueros

Trigueros, an isolated village in the countryside of Huelva, is an exceptional archaeological stop on the South Route to Santiago. Its main attraction is the Dolmen of Soto, an impressive megalithic monument dating back around 5,000 years, considered one of Europe's most important dolmen complexes. For pilgrims, diverting a few kilometers from the route to visit this site is a unique opportunity to connect with the deepest and prehistoric roots of the Iberian Peninsula. The local village of Trigueros, with its white houses and rural atmosphere, offers a peaceful retreat. Its church of San Antonio Abad and the Convent of Carmen are other points of interest. This stage unfolds through fields of cereal and olive groves, characteristic of Andalusian countryside. In the context of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage, Trigueros enriches the journey with a historical dimension that goes far beyond the Middle Ages, a journey to the origins of human spirituality in these lands, before continuing the ascent towards Zafra to join the Vía de la Plata.
