A short walk from your cottage, along country lanes l, takes you to the pretty village of Alájar with its white houses and winding, cobbled streets. Some of the bars and restaurants stand out for their cosiness and character. High above the cluster of white houses towers la Peña de Arias Montano, a craggy cliff with a sixteenth century hermitage set on its peak.
Aracena, the main town in the park, is only a twenty minute drive along scenic roads from the Molino. It boasts a fine thirteenth century church, built on a hill by the Knights Templar, who were given dominion over the area in 1267. Beneath this hill crowned by the church, lies the Gruta de las Maravillas (Cave Of Wonders), one of Spain's most impressive caves.
Spain's largest wildlife sanctuary, the Coto de Doñana National Park, is within reach. This is one of the last untouched parts of Europe, visited by a great variety of migrating birds, and one of the remaining strongholds of the lynx. On the coast there are fishing villages and some of Spain's finest beaches; while Seville, the lively Andalusian capital, is accessible for daytrips.
All this makes the Molino Río Alájar an unrivalled rural destination for those in search of a relaxing holiday, in an area rich in cultural treasures and natural beauty.
