This road climbs to the highest peak in the Natural Park Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche and the province of Huelva, the Cerro de los Bonales. This is cool and moist by the combination of two factors, the latitude and the altidude. There is alos the Atlantic influence which can allow us to enjoy winter snow above 1000 metres.
Woodlands near the refuge on the way to Cerro Bonales
You pass green woodlands with chestnut trees and the remnants of the indigenous forest of Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica).
The distance is approximately 8 km to the summit of the Bonales, leaving Arroyomolinos de León, the old cobblestone road, climbing up the Cuesta de los Olivos.
A really nice and enjoyable walk!

It is May in south of Spain, it is time for Romerías and this weekend whole town of Cabeza la Vaca is ready for its own particular one. For those who don´t know what Romería I hope you will learn it from this article.
Romería of Cabeza la Vaca is the annual religious pilgrimage to the chapel (Ermita) in the holy site of “los Lomitos”, in Sierra de las Buitreras. Actually one of our walking tours Tentudia traverse it.
This religious walk, and devotion is associated with particular saints or miracles from the Virgin. Los romeros ( the pilgrims) make their way on foot, covering a long distance (10 km.), and making offerings before gathering for a picnic: good local food, wine, and a lot of singing.
We strongly recommend you to stop by and live with us this special way of walking holidays.
