Just as a side note: photography is forbidden in the cave. Unlike others, I also adhered to it.

The great extension of its lakes, the abundance and variety of formations, and the length of its development make this underground complex a complex of great beauty and showiness. This spring of inexhaustible beauty, forged by time on nature itself with the help of elements as simple as water and stone, offers an exceptional set of galleries, halls, lakes and underground courses.

The mosque is built on a hill overlooking the town of Almonaster la Real. It is integrated into a complex that includes, in addition to the oratory, an old Muslim fortress attached to a bullring. It is a trapezoidal construction, with an ablution courtyard or sahn and a prayer room or haram. The prayer room consists of five naves of unequal width, with arcades that run transverse to the qibla. The fabric of the building is made of brick, granite blocks and masonry. Carry materials were used for its construction, such as funerary altars, Roman columns and capitals, as well as Visigothic fragments. It is a fascinating historical and architectural place that is worth a visit to appreciate its rich history and unique beauty.

The name of Los Marines has a curious history: during a visit by King Felipe II to the municipality, an inhabitant asked him why, being so powerful, he did not bring the sea to the town. The king's response was: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors." Since then, all the young people of the town performed their military service in Marina Huelva. This picturesque municipality, surrounded by nature and beauty, is an ideal place to explore during a getaway to the Sierra de Huelva. Don't hesitate to visit Los Marines and enjoy its charm.

A fortress of medieval origin that is part of the so-called Banda Gallega, military fortifications that were built to protect the lands of Seville from Portuguese incursions. Wonderful experience with beautiful views and magnificent conservation of the castle. An emblematic place. You can go to www.castillodecortegana.net to see the schedules.

Los Marines owes its name to a visit by King Philip II to the municipality, in which a town resident asked him if he was so powerful, why didn't he bring the sea to the town. Philip II replied: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors" and since then all the young men of the town served in the military in the Huelva marina. The municipality's economy is based mainly on the production of chestnuts and to a lesser extent on pig farming.

The Gruta de las Maravillas is the quintessential emblem of Aracena – it has stalactitic formations, stalagmites, columns, gours, castings, pisolitos, eccentrics and curtains. Located in the urban area, the richness and variety of formations along its 1,200-meter route make it one of the most visited tourist caves in Spain.
