Aracena

Aracena, (Huevla - Andalucía) Spain

Aracena is one of the 28 whitewashed towns in the province of Huelva that make up the Sierra de Aracena Natural Park system.  A 13th century castle built over an old Muslim fortress overlooks this town, known today for the frequently visited cave located directly below the castle extending over 2000 meters, of which more than 1000 meters can be visited.  Aracena is also known for its tasty Iberian cured ham produced from acorn-fed black pigs.
