Between the Sierra del Agua and the Sierra del viento
where Seville juts into Extremadura is the historic
village of Guadalcanal.
Two sierras, then two landscapes: the escarpment
and the plains, the olive tree and the live oak, suitable
zones for rural tourism and to get away from the daily
routine of the city. The traveller can hunt and fish,
and among its outstanding attractions is its magnificent
cuisine, with lamb stew being the star dish.
The archaeological remains from the Palaeolithic
age in the caves of Santiago and San Francisco in
Guadalcanal are remarkable.
The church of La Asunción, from the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries, built against an Almohade
wall and upon the site of an Arab alcazar fortress
is worth a visit. In order to enjoy these surroundings
you are advised to attend the pilgrimage the last
Sunday in Arpil. After the transfer to the hermitage
of Guaditoca, the residents go on a picnic. This fiesta
has been declared of National tourist interest in
Andalusia.
