Aracena and Picos de Aroche, the birthplace of Iberian ham

On the San Isidro Bridge we head north of Huelva. Based in the beautiful town of Aracena, and staying at the charming Barceló-Aracena hotel, we will enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean forests of this Natural Park.

Located between the slopes of the Guadalquivir and Guadiana rivers, it surprises with its green and wild landscape, dotted with cork oaks and holm oaks that are home to that beautiful Iberian species that delights us so much…
The good gastronomy of the hotel where we stayed will complete a memorable culinary bridge.

Discover Aracena by bike: Nature, Culture and Andalusian Charm

Aracena, the heart of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, is a unique place in Andalusia. Its town centre, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, extends between Monte de la Cruz and Cerro del Castillo, where the old Fortress Castle and the Priory Church of Ntra. Sra. del Mayor Dolor stand.

The jewel of the town is the Gruta de las Maravillas, an impressive karst formation of incomparable beauty. In addition, Aracena dazzles with its typical Andalusian white architecture, which adapts to the rugged geography of Sierra Morena, creating an ideal destination to explore by bike and enjoy its unique charm.

Accommodations

For accommodation we suggest a four-star hotel in Aracena, the Barcelo-Aracena. The best option to rest and enjoy our after bike.
