Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park is your go-to escape when the city heat hits—just 90 minutes north of Seville and you’re in a world of forested hills, secret rivers, and ancient geology. This massive protected area covers 177,000 hectares of the Sierra Morena and is part UNESCO Global Geopark, part wildlife haven, and part living museum of rural Andalusian life. It’s where dehesas of holm and cork oaks stretch for miles, and waterfalls like the Cascadas del Huéznar break the silence.
If you’re into wild swimming, hiking, or chasing natural monuments, this place is packed: Cerro del Hierro’s rust-red cliffs are a former mining site turned climbing paradise, and the Huéznar River is a cool, clear lifeline for otters and eagles alike. You might spot deer and wild boar on the trail—or even signs of lynx if you’re lucky. Oh, and if you’re into fossils, San Nicolás del Puerto has jellyfish impressions over 500 million years old.
Beyond the nature fix, don’t skip the whitewashed villages like Cazalla and Constantina. They serve up strong mountain wine, hearty stews, and a slower rhythm that hits just right after a day outdoors. It’s Andalusia with edge—raw, rooted, and totally road-trip worthy.
