シエラデオルナチュエロス国立公園周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ15

The view of the Bembézar River from the Sanctuary of the Angels in Hornachuelos is one of the most spectacular in the Sierra de Hornachuelos Natural Park. Although access to the sanctuary is restricted because it is private property undergoing renovation, breathtaking panoramic views can be enjoyed from the surrounding area, especially from the Angels Trail (PR-A-348).

Route PR-A-348, which leads to the Santa María de los Ángeles Seminary in Hornachuelos (Córdoba), offers truly spectacular views, especially along the stretches that border the Bembézar River.

The view of the Seminario de los Ángeles in Hornachuelos is one of the most impressive in the Sierra de Hornachuelos Natural Park, especially when viewed from the path that runs along the Bembézar River.

The viewpoint is inaccessible from the north. Since (at least) March 14, 2025, a hermetically sealed iron gate has blocked the way. There's no other option than to turn around. Very annoying.

The town of San Calixto, about 17 km from Hornachuelos, is located in the heart of the Natural Park. Its origin is found in the ancient and legendary Monastery of Tardón, founded in the 16th century. XVI by Brother Mateo de la Fuente, disciple of Saint John of Ávila and hermit from the wilderness of Córdoba, in the company of Brother Diego Vidal. Due to their reputation for holiness, many others joined them. Installed in some mountains heavily populated with thistles, which is why they called it Cardón, in a hut that served as their church, they placed an image of Saint Michael. Over time, these anchorites decided to live under one of the rules approved by the church, and chose that of San Basilio, founding in 1543 the Monastery of San Basilio del Tardón, a nickname derived from Cardón, which remained inhabited by monks until the year 1808. Twenty years later, Francisco Sánchez Gadeo founded the last of the New Towns of Sierra Morena, protected by the repopulating spirit of Carlos III and following his colonizing precepts. In memory of the day of the birth of King Ferdinand VII, October 14, the name of San Calixto was given to the new town.

the road is closed from the monastery to the river, boulders come down, and passages are very difficult to pass through.

Located between the municipalities of Hornachuelos and Espiel, this reservoir was built in the 50s of the last century. It collects the waters of numerous rivers and streams, among which the Benajarafe and the Névalo stand out, both belonging to the Guadalquivir hydrographic basin.

Built on the bed of the Retortillo river, this reservoir is located between the Sierra Norte de Sevilla natural park and the Sierra de Hornachuelos natural park, which in turn form part of the Sierra Morena massif.
