It was used as a place of residence for war veterans, however, with the passage of time it became a very advanced city with all kinds of services. It remained in use until the Muslim period, as it became a mineral quarry.
It is visited by more than 125,000 people a year, making it one of the most recommended excursions for your vacation. On the other hand, on the website you also have a series of guided tours that will help you to know in more detail the history of this place, as well as the schedules and the price of the entrance.
Carmona
The city of Carmona is considered one of the oldest in Andalusia because the Carthaginians, Romans and Muslims have lived there. In addition, it also had great strategic importance for being located in the Guadalquivir Valley.
From the city of Seville it is approximately 35 kilometers to Carmona. If you do not have a vehicle, with the company Alsa you can go by bus for a cost of 6 € (round trip).

The town of Arcos de la Frontera is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain for its rich heritage (basilicas, convents, palaces, etc.). It is located on top of a hill and surrounded by the Guadalete river. This location makes the white houses of the village already visible from the road.

Any corner of this village is perfect to relax, breathe fresh air and disconnect.
The town of Zahara de la Sierra is located very close to Grazalema, more specifically in the center of the natural park. Apart from its typical white houses, the entire municipality is listed as a Historic-Artistic Site for its traditional urbanism and for being on the slope of a hillside.
El Ronquillo
