Nestled in the hills of Aracena National Park, this town of whitewashed buildings stands in striking contrast to the surrounding verdant hills. At the highest point of the town, the fascinating ruins of a 13th century castle and church can be toured. An immense system of caves and tunnels wind their way through the hill and a walk through the underground chambers and lakes found there is simply breathtaking. Explore the town from the Plaza Alta, stop at a cafe for a tapa of regional ingredients, and visit the Museum of Iberian Ham, dedicated to the beloved (and delicious!) Iberian pig.
