Seville and Cordoba and the Sistine Chapel, 3 nights at Hotel Entreolivos with a rental car
We propose this interesting 4-day, 3-night getaway to Sierra Morena, in the heart of Andalusia. We're talking about El Pedroso, the paradise of tranquility, a small white village nestled in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla natural park.
From there, in addition to numerous outdoor excursions and nature activities, you are at the center of three important places to visit in Spain: Sevilla an hour away, Fuente del Arco (home to the Sistine Chapel) fifty minutes away, and Córdoba an hour and forty minutes away.
The Pedroso train station in the village, just a one-minute walk from the door of Hotel Entreolivos, makes it an ideal base for excursions throughout southern Spain.
Come and discover it!

The guided tour is informative and engaging. The interior is entirely covered in frescoes depicting scenes from Genesis, recently discovered by chance.

Afterward, you can continue towards the Hueznar waterfalls. Declared a Natural Monument in 2001, the Hueznar Falls refers to an area of the river with cascades and pools created by the water falling on the limestone formations. It is a spectacle to see and hear the crystal-clear river water flowing through these waterfalls.
Next, head to Cerro del Hierro, one of the most well-known and visited spaces in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park. It is an old open-pit mining area between San Nicolás del Puerto and Constantina, dating back to Roman times.
