Points of interest
Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park covers a broad area of the Sierra Morena in northern Seville province, Andalucía. Its gently rolling hills, extensive holm and cork oak woodlands, open dehesa pastureland and river valleys make it a rewarding destination for walking, birdwatching and exploring the quieter side of southern Spain.
The park forms part of a wider stretch of protected countryside, linking with Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche in Huelva province and Sierra de Hornachuelos in Córdoba. Together, these landscapes provide important habitat for wildlife, including threatened birds and mammals.
Among the area’s highlights are the waterfalls of the Huéznar River near San Nicolás del Puerto and the unusual former mining landscape of Cerro del Hierro. The park’s combination of natural scenery, wildlife and geological heritage gives it a character quite different from Andalucía’s better-known mountain destinations.
Clive Muir – Wildside Holidays – Walking, wildlife and culture holidays in Spain
I’ve been living in western Andalucía for more than 20 years and spend much of my time researching and running English-language travel websites about Spain. My work covers destinations including Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema and the Caminito del Rey, as well as Wildside Holidays, which focuses on walking, wildlife and nature travel in Spain.
Through Wildside Holidays, I share practical information about Spain’s natural parks, mountains, wildlife and walking destinations, drawing on many years of living and travelling in the country. The aim is to help visitors discover Spain’s natural landscapes responsibly and plan rewarding walking and wildlife experiences.
