El pueblo de Zufre

Casa Bella Vista Zufre is located in the charming town of Zufre, a picturesque municipality with approximately 800 inhabitants, which has been declared a place of cultural interest. Located in the southeastern part of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, this village, of Muslim origin, unfolds like a balcony over the Zufre Reservoir, surrounded by a unique natural setting, with extensive pastures and breathtaking landscapes.

Zufre preserves a charming historic center, notable for its whitewashed houses, the imposing 16th-century Town Hall, and the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, built on the site of a former 12th-century mosque. This place is the perfect starting point for those wishing to immerse themselves in Andalusian history and culture.

Furthermore, Zufre is twinned with the town of Épron, France, strengthening the cultural and tourist ties between the two places. The municipality of Zufre is also part of the Starlight Reserve, a distinction that recognizes its exceptionally clear night sky, free of light pollution, making it a perfect place for astronomical observation.

Located on the renowned Ruta del Jamón (Ham Route), which is one of the best areas to savor Iberian acorn-fed ham and other Iberian pork products, Zufre offers an unparalleled gastronomic experience. The surrounding pastures, full of holm oaks, gall oaks, and cork oaks, are the natural home of Iberian pigs, who contribute to the creation of this exquisite delicacy. If you wish, we are happy to arrange visits to local producers.

The Sierra de Huelva is known not only for its stunning natural landscape but also for the charming villages that surround it. Among them are Aracena, famous for its Gruta de las Maravillas (Grotto of Wonders) and its Museo del Jamón Ibérico (Iberian Ham Museum), and Almonaster la Real, home to one of the best-preserved mosques in Andalusia. In Álajar, you can’t miss the Mirador-Balcón de la Sierra de la Peña de Arias Montano, which offers spectacular views. In Castaño del Robledo, the 16th-century Church of Santiago el Mayor stands out. Other must-see sites include the 12-spout fountain in Fuenteheridos and the picturesque Charco Malo in Cortelazor. All these spots make up a route filled with natural beauty and historical heritage.
