Linares de la Sierra is a typical mountain village, situated in a deep valley. Almonaster La Real is an ancient village of the Arab era, with its impressive walls and castle ……
We will visit small cheese makers where we learn to make artisan goats’ cheese with our own hands.
The famous Doñana Park: we cross it on horseback, in 4×4 vehicles, or by horse-drawn carriage. Another appealing option is to go by bycicle and cross the river at Sanlucar de Barrameda, where the best seafood in Andalucia can be found.
The El Rocio pilgrimage that every year takes place between May and June. We offer the opportunity to live as a typical rociero, organising your horse carriages, men and womens’ flamenco gear …. If you want a more relaxed agenda, we can do the Rocio itinerary at any other time of year, following the same route through pine forests, and crossing the sands of Doñana, to reach the shrine of the Virgen del Rocio.
