Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

El Real de la Jara

Founded by the Romans, it owes its name to the Camino Real, which was the main route between Andalusia and Extremadura until the construction of the N-630 road and was used by the pilgrims from the south who followed the Ruta de la Plata (Silver Route) on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

The walk follows a section of the Vía Verde de la Sierra (Greenway of the Sierra), an old railway line between the provinces of Cadiz and Seville that has now been converted into an eco-tourist trail.

This route starts at Avenida de la Fuente, on the outskirts of the municipality of Estepa, although, barely 180 metres on, Avenida de la Fuente becomes the SE-9212 road.

The IE-029 Campiña-Alcores de Sevilla equestrian route links these two geographical areas of the province of Seville via the River Corbones, with wide stretches suitable for horse-drawn carriages. It is a rich and extensive cereal-growing, olive-growing and livestock-raising area, located on the left bank of the River Guadalquivir, which is home to species of interest, such as steppe birds.

The IE-010 links the town of Las Cabezas de San Juan with the Complejo Endorreico Lebrija-Las Cabezas Nature Reserve, a beautiful natural settlement that is home to different species of endangered birds, such as the horned coot and the white-headed duck.

The IE-009, which links the town of Los Palacios y Villafranca with Utrera, allows tourists to explore and enjoy the unique landscape of the countryside around the Lower Guadalquivir, farmland, marshes and vineyards. The route takes us to unknown places that can only be reached on horseback or on foot.

The IE-007 Gran Vega de Sevilla runs through land between the city of Seville and the province of Cordoba, through a wide valley between the Sierra Morena and the Sevillian countryside, where a wide variety of ecosystems converge: plain, countryside and mountains.
