Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

Constantina

To visit Constantina is to travel through history, to discover in its streets the vestiges and remains of the different civilisations that make up the collective memory and historical legacy of one of the most important towns in the region.

You move away from the reservoir along the Viar Valley, fertile land used for growing cereals and orange trees.

The St. James’s Way that ultimately leads to Compostela starts at the so called Camino del Fontanal, which starts at the entrance of Lebrija by the road of Las Cabezas de San Juan. The route starts taking an asphalt road that soon turns into a dirt path which circles the San Benito Park running among gardens and farms.

From the lower part of Villanueva del Río and Minas, the route descends further (following a signalled path) to the Huéznar River, crossing it. It is possible to park your car  a few metres ahead of the San Fernando quarter, for example next to the Lago del Mirador.

This route starts at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento of Villamanrique de la Condesa, and goes down Calle Sor María del Coro until reaching a crossroads. At this point, it crosses the road and follows the Green Corridor indications. Further on, there is a crossroads between two drovers’ road, the Cañada de Los Isleños and the Cañada de La Marisma Gallega.

We will start from the Barge of the Port of Coria del Río and take the Avenida de Andalucía to the left. At the end of the avenue we turn right into Calle Hornos and then left into Avenida de Blas Infante until we reach a roundabout, where we will look for the signs to Puebla del Río and Dehesa de Abajo.

This trail runs through the countryside of Seville and, after 30 km, enters the heritage city of Ecija itself, linking up with the countryside of Cordoba.

This impressive historic town, known as the "town of the seven towers", is one of the richest in the province of Seville in terms of artistic and historical heritage.
