Wonderful Walking Holidays in Andalusia
The Mountains in Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche are soft, rounded and not very high – ideal for gentle and relaxed hiking. Alájar – due to its geographical situation – is a perfect place to use as a base to discover our secret corner of Andalusia. We are happy to provide you with all the information you need for walking, touring, eating, relaxing straight from La Posada de San Marcos, Alájar.

Many are the options to choose while you stay with us – visit an Iberian Pig farm- curing place, an organic goats farm and cheese making, mountain bike, horse riding, active tourism…
