The Hermitage of Our Lady of La Peña in Puebla de Guzmán (Huelva) is one of the most emblematic sanctuaries in the Andévalo region of Huelva province, with a deep spiritual, artistic, and cultural tradition. Location: On Cerro del Águila (Eagle Hill), about 4 km from the town center. Origin: Probably built in the 16th century, with significant renovations in the 17th century, 1960, and 1992. Founding legend: According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to the shepherd Alonso Gómez in the 15th century, who was instructed to build a hermitage on that site.

In 1876, an unprecedented flood of the Guadiana River revealed previously unknown ruins: the Roman Villa of Montinho das Laranjeiras. Founded in the 1st century BC, it was inhabited continuously until the end of the Islamic period, when it was finally abandoned. Its privileged position allowed trade along the river as far as Mértola and ensured the continuity of Roman, Visigothic, and Islamic occupation.

This mill, built in the 18th century, was restored to its original state in 1996. It is made of stone and clay and stands approximately seven and a half meters tall. Its structure comprises two floors: the lower floor served as the miller's dwelling, while the upper floor housed the grain-grinding machinery.

It is not a border town, since the urban centre is 20 km from the border line, although the municipal area is a border town.

Beautiful reservoir with partly low water levels...

Cycling along the Guadiana River from Castro Marim it's a great experience. The road is not very busy. Mandatory visit.

The Guadiana is an international river on the Iberian Peninsula and some of its sections form part of the border between Spain and Portugal.

A small town nestled on the side of a hill, on a bend in the border river, the Guadiana. And across the road, Spain.
