EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ARACENA

It is the capital of the region and it gives its name to the mountain range and the Parque Natural, a standout amongst the most important ensured spaces of the Community, which involves the entire of the north of the area with its meadows and small rises in the ground, shrouded overwhelmingly in holm oak woods, stopper oaks, chestnut trees and scour through which various streams flow forming an extraordinarily beautiful and attractive landscape which is ideal for livestock, especially pigs which find the conditions here ideal.The village itself, full of monuments and declared Property of Cultural Interest, is at the foot of the old castle and of the priory church of Nuestra Señora del Mayor Dolor, which still preserves the minaret of the mosque that preceded it. Apart from this and many other churches that form its heritage, the most notable feature (and for what it is best known) is the Gruta de las Maravillas, one of the most interesting carstic complexes in Spain.
