Aljarafe, Administrative comarca in western Seville Province, Spain.
Aljarafe is a comarca containing 24 municipalities spread across hilly terrain west of Seville. Olive groves dominate the farming landscape, while towns like Aznalcázar and Benacazón connect through local roads.
The region grew economically in the 16th century when olive oil production expanded to global markets. This period of trade shaped how the comarca developed and mattered over time.
The whitewashed houses and churches across the towns show Moorish and Roman building traditions that remain visible in daily life. These architectural marks define how each municipality looks today.
The area is easy to reach by car and accessible from Seville. It helps to use a map or navigation to visit the scattered towns across the region.
Historic oil mills such as the Hacienda de la Motilla in Huévar del Aljarafe still operate using age-old methods. Visitors can watch olives being pressed the same way they were processed long ago.
