Guadalcanal offers several hiking routes that allow you to discover spectacular landscapes and rich biodiversity, from challenging climbs such as La Capitana to more peaceful walks such as the Sendero del Cerro del Hierro. The trails run through forests, valleys and pastures, offering a unique experience in contact with nature, as well as historical vestiges of traditional rural life.
Molino del Francés
The Molino del Francés is part of the Route of the Ciudadeja Mills, a route that shows the remains of old mills and a landscape that is characteristic of the Sierra Morena in Seville.

La Traviesa Estate and Necropolis
The La Traviesa public estate, situated in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, boasts outstanding natural and historical features. In addition to its landscape of pastureland and Mediterranean woodland, its network of footpaths, its recreational area and the Mirador de La Traviesa Astronomical Observatory, it is home to one of the most significant prehistoric burial sites in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula and a key source of information about the communities that inhabited these mountains during the 2nd millennium BCE: the La Traviesa necropolis.
Warrior Stela, Montejícar-Type Halberd and Ceramic Vessel
The rich archaeological history of Almadén de la Plata has left us an outstanding collection of pieces that make it possible to learn about the communities that inhabited this territory between the 2nd and 1st millennia BC. Among them are the Montejícar-type halberd from cist 5 and the ceramic vessel from cist 20, both recovered during the excavations of the La Traviesa necropolis and dated to the Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). Alongside these materials, the Almadén Stele 2 stands out, an exceptional decorated stele from the Late Bronze Age (9th–8th centuries BC), discovered on the Dehesa del Viar estate. Taken together, these finds constitute valuable evidence of the beliefs, funerary rituals and social organisation of the communities that inhabited the Sevillian Sierra Morena between the Bronze Age and the beginnings of Protohistory.

Historical and artistic heritage of Isla Mayor
Isla Mayor is a municipality located in the marshes of the Guadalquivir, whose development has been linked to the transformation of this territory and to the cultivation of rice. Its history is relatively recent and constitutes a good example of how human intervention modified one of the most characteristic landscapes of the surroundings of Doñana.
Arquillo de la Pescadería – Municipal Granary – Mosaic
The complex comprising the Arquillo de la Pescadería and the Pósito is one of Aznalcázar’s most iconic monuments. The Almohad gate, a remnant of the medieval fortified enclosure, its subsequent transformation and the construction of the municipal granary during the 18th century reflect how this space has adapted to the town’s changing needs and how it has evolved over the centuries.
Nuestra Señora de Belén Hermitage
The Chapel of Our Lady of Bethlehem is one of the oldest and most iconic buildings in Pilas, and is considered the original centre around which the town began to develop. Built on the site of a unique 14th-century Gothic-Mudejar building and extended over the centuries, it preserves a remarkable architectural and artistic ensemble, presided over by the image of the town’s patron saint. Its history and the works it houses offer an insight into the evolution of Pilas from its medieval origins to the present day.
Santa María la Mayor Church
The Parish Church of Santa María la Mayor is the result of a long historical evolution that began after the Castilian conquest in the 13th century. Its current configuration reflects the successive transformations it underwent over the centuries, resulting in a basilica-plan church with three naves enriched with numerous chapels. Inside, it preserves an important collection of altarpieces, sculptures and pieces of silverwork that bear witness to the artistic evolution of the parish between the 16th and 20th centuries.
Palacio de los Marqueses de Peñaflor
The Palace of Peñaflor, located in the heart of the historic centre of Écija, is one of the city's most outstanding examples of secular Baroque architecture.

The façade, dominated by a monumental entrance, stands out for its long continuous balcony, painted decoration and lookout tower. Inside, the stables, the main courtyard with its Baroque fountain and the richly decorated monumental staircase are particularly noteworthy. A visit offers the opportunity to discover one of the town's most distinctive palaces and appreciate its remarkable artistic richness up close.

El Coto Las Canteras
The Coto de las Canteras is one of Osuna’s most unique heritage sites. Situated on the hill of San Cristóbal, it bears the marks of the work of generations of stonemasons who quarried the sandstone used in numerous buildings in the town. It is a landscape formed by successive layers of time: the sandstone formed in an ancient sea; the hill transformed by the quarry; the spaces adapted once quarrying ceased; and contemporary interventions, which have incorporated gardens, sculptures and new cultural uses.
