Estepa

As you continue along the route, the Sierra Sur comes into view, becoming clearer and clearer as you advance. On the hill on which the Roman Ventippo sits (it belonged to the Santiago Commandery of Estepa 1267-1559), you can make out the silhouette of the Torre de la Victoria, without a doubt the most important landmark of the town of Estepa.
