Right in the heart of Aracena, beneath the castle, lies one of the most beautiful caves in Spain: over a kilometre of galleries with lakes, stalactites and spectacular formations. It's the star attraction of the Sierra and it's best to book tickets in advance.

Jabugo is synonymous with top-quality acorn-fed Iberian ham. In and around the village there are cellars and curing houses where you can see the process, taste and buy directly at source. A must for food lovers.

🏘️ White villages and dehesa

The Sierra is a sea of holm oaks, chestnuts and cork oaks dotted with charming villages: Almonaster la Real and its mosque, Alájar with the Peña de Arias Montano, Castaño del Robledo, Linares de la Sierra and Fuenteheridos. Perfect for walking, eating well and switching off.
