La Cima de Lagarín, also known as Cerro Algarín, is one of the highest and most spectacular points in the Sierra de Grazalema, located between the municipalities of El Gastor and Zahara de la Sierra. It is an ideal destination for hikers seeking panoramic views and unspoiled nature.

A 135-meter-long viaduct, built using rectangular truncated pyramidal pilasters with mortared ashlars, is formed by the repetition of seven identical arches. It was built to span the Guadalporcún River crossing before it meets the Guadamanil River. The latter originates in the Sierra de la Lebrona mountain range in the municipality of Pruna (Seville) and flows into the Guadalporcún River just a few meters from the viaduct. The confluence of the rivers has created a wide floodplain. From this railway infrastructure, there is a privileged view of the Estrechón Canyon, a natural passage carved by the Guadalporcún River to traverse the foothills of the Zaframagón Rock. Just below, on the left bank of the Guadalporcún, we find the ruined building of what was once the Zaframagón mill. A little further west, other ruins can be seen. It is a small town built for workers on the railway line construction site.

The name Setil de las Bodegas emphasizes the rich history of the city. “Setenil” comes from the Latin words “septem nihil,” meaning “seven times no,” and refers to the seven failed attempts by Catholic rulers to regain territory from the Moors, who ruled much of Spain for centuries. The Catholics finally succeeded in the seventh attempt and established Setenil as one of the last Muslim strongholds in Iberia.
