Tips from the Community
A short route, 8 km. Very easy, it follows marked and accessible paths. You must pass through two gates closed for animal crossings, which must be re-closed. Part of the route passes by a stream and waterfalls. The other part follows a fairly wide path with trees on either side and therefore receives a lot of sun. I don't think it's a good option in summer. In short, a beautiful route and a beautiful town.

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.
