The Sierra de Aracena, a little over an hour´s drive north west of Seville, is an area of unique tranquillity and beauty set in 184,000 hectares of ‘Natural Park´. A Park of chestnut, holm oak and cork oak cut through with dry stone walled tracks which run from village to village. A paradise for walkers, bird watchers and horse riders. A haven for bird life and a feast of wild flowers in the spring. At the heart of the Park is the village of Fuenteheridos. A white washed idyll that has maintained its traditional rural and agrarian customs in a competitive modern world. Most villagers still farm small plots of fruit and vegetables, and produce the best ham in Spain from their acorn-fed black pigs made famous under the name of its neighbouring village Jabugo.
