Seville enchants

We will start our route on the A-456 road, which crosses the town of Lora del Río in the direction of Fuentes de Andalucía, which, without leaving it, will take us to the A-456 towards Fuentes de Andalucía. After approximately 8.5 km we will cross over the A-4 motorway, where we will continue along the A-407 until we reach Fuentes de Andalucía, which we will do via Calle Bécquer.

Las Navas de la Concepción

During the Middle Ages there were only cereal farms and livestock farms in this area, and it was not until 1557 that the monks of the Order of San Basilio established themselves in the area and were responsible for designing the layout of the streets of what is today the town.

This route starts at the first bus stop in Gerena, next to the Guardia Civil compound,. From this point, we take the  A-477  road until it crosses the Water Route. The route takes the path that leads to a quarry and, just before entering the quarry, turns right and zigzags up a rocky slope dotted by wild olive trees, Mediterranean dwarf palms, and thyme bushes.

Almadén de la Plata

The origins of this town date back to Roman times. It was a small village, whose main source of wealth came from the marble quarries, called Pagus Marmorarius, which translated from Latin means "village of the marbles".

Guadalcanal

Although Iberian remains have been found and some historians maintain that Guadalcanal was the Tereses named by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History, the first major settlement in this town dates from Moorish times and was called Wad al-Qanal, "river of the canal", or, according to popular etymology, "river of creation".

We leave Aznalcázar on the old Aznalcázar-Pilas road, and 200m further on we will find the Guadiamar Visitor Centre, where the Green Corridor begins. On leaving the town centre we take the path that starts on our left, to follow the route along the right bank of the Corridor, so that the Guadiamar will always be on our left.

The Sierra Greenway alternates between the provinces of Seville and Cadiz. Coripe, El Coronil and Montellano are the mountain villages on the Seville side.

All these villages, immersed in the Sierra Sur of Seville, are typical of the region, with whitewashed walls, flowerpots and Moorish roofs.
