Hiking in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, among white villages

You will have the opportunity to dine at Molino Río Alájar, in your own accommodation (three-course menu €35 per person, including a bottle of wine).

This walk (our favourite).

The walk ascends through the village of El Calabacino, passing the chapel of La Trinidad and partly along an old cobbled Roman road. The houses of El Calabacino are scattered across the hillside, with spectacular views.

Leaving El Calabacino, continue through chestnut woods towards Castaño del Robledo, a picturesque village with a Romanesque church and a second interesting church that was never finished (bars).
On the way back, there's an opportunity to make a small detour (300 metres) to visit the Peña de Arias Montano, a natural monument of great scenic and historical value which offers beautiful views of Alájar and the south of the province of Huelva.

After breakfast, it’s time to head to your next accommodation in Fuenteheridos. We will take care of transporting your luggage to your “Biarritz Rural” accommodation.
There are two options to get to Fuenteheridos: the short route of 7.5 km or the long one of 10.9 km.

Short route
You walk past the village of Los Madroñeros, where there are more cats than people, then towards Alájar and subsequently ascend to Puerta de Linares, where you cross the road. The path continues with views over Alájar and its surroundings.
Afterwards, the route runs through chestnut groves, which attract many visitors in autumn when their fruit falls. It is also a perfect time for collecting wild mushrooms.
The tour finishes in the attractive village of Fuenteheridos, famous for its “Fuente de los Doce Caños” (Fountain of the Twelve Spouts). The village has a good selection of bars and restaurants.

Long route
It goes from Alájar, passing by the Peña de Arias Montano, to Fuenteheridos.

After breakfast at one of the village bars, the walk begins.
You pass.
The route continues over hills amongst pine, cork, and chestnut trees towards Galaroza. Just before reaching the carpenters' village, take the path to the left that returns you to the starting point. Undoubtedly, a route that stimulates the five senses.

A walk through a beautiful landscape connecting the district capital, Aracena, with the pretty village of Fuenteheridos. The trail is easy to follow and passes through chestnut forests. It is well signposted and the paths are easy to recognise.
The tour concludes at the Hotel Convento de Aracena, a beautifully restored monastery converted into a four-star hotel. Your luggage will be waiting for you at reception.
Places of interest: the Grutas de las Maravillas and the Aracena Medieval Castle.
For dinner, you can choose between the hotel restaurant or one of the many bars and restaurants in the village.

A walk without great difficulty. The path winds through an idyllic landscape, beautiful in any season, but especially in spring, with its wild flowers and fruit trees.
Upon arriving in Corteconcepción, you will have the opportunity to visit one of the region's finest ham producers, The Eiriz family:

The road back to Aracena begins with a steep climb.
