Isla Mayor

You will find this village in the centre of the Isla Mayor Island of the River Guadalquivir. Among its principal monuments are the church of nuestra señora Del Carmen and the little English houses, which were built upon the arrival of the English to this region. A visit to these dwellings will let us learn about the way of life of the first settlers in the tidal marshes.

Two of the fiestas that attract the most attention from travellers are the Rice and Crab Fair and Fiestas in June and Crab day, in September. For five days in the more than forty private booths, you can sample numerous dishes due to the great wealth of products of the region, but there will be no shortage of paella or red crabs cooked in different ways.

Between plates, you will witness a magical horseback parade with riders in traditional costumes, or entertaining horse races.
