Tips from the Community
The mosque is built on a hill overlooking the town of Almonaster la Real. It is integrated into a complex that includes, in addition to the oratory, an old Muslim fortress attached to a bullring. It is a trapezoidal construction, with an ablution courtyard or sahn and a prayer room or haram. The prayer room consists of five naves of unequal width, with arcades that run transverse to the qibla. The fabric of the building is made of brick, granite blocks and masonry. Carry materials were used for its construction, such as funerary altars, Roman columns and capitals, as well as Visigothic fragments. It is a fascinating historical and architectural place that is worth a visit to appreciate its rich history and unique beauty.

The name of Los Marines has a curious history: during a visit by King Felipe II to the municipality, an inhabitant asked him why, being so powerful, he did not bring the sea to the town. The king's response was: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors." Since then, all the young people of the town performed their military service in Marina Huelva. This picturesque municipality, surrounded by nature and beauty, is an ideal place to explore during a getaway to the Sierra de Huelva. Don't hesitate to visit Los Marines and enjoy its charm.

The Cañaveral de León lagoon is a pool that collects groundwater from the Fuente Redonda spring and serves to irrigate the crops in the area. For a few years it has also been conditioned to be the municipal swimming pool of this town. In summer a treatment plant is started up to offer a pleasant bath on the hottest days.

A fortress of medieval origin that is part of the so-called Banda Gallega, military fortifications that were built to protect the lands of Seville from Portuguese incursions. Wonderful experience with beautiful views and magnificent conservation of the castle. An emblematic place. You can go to www.castillodecortegana.net to see the schedules.

Los Marines owes its name to a visit by King Philip II to the municipality, in which a town resident asked him if he was so powerful, why didn't he bring the sea to the town. Philip II replied: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors" and since then all the young men of the town served in the military in the Huelva marina. The municipality's economy is based mainly on the production of chestnuts and to a lesser extent on pig farming.

Magnificent viewpoint on the local road, which connects the Huelva town of Cañaveral de León with the nearby Fuentes de León. It has benches, litter bins and railings, from which to observe the valley where Cañaveral de León and the Sierra that are in front of it sits. Starlight Zone to see the stars, due to its low light pollution. And it is also an area where you can see vultures that come to the area to gain height with the ascending thermal currents.
