Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park
Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, Natural park in Huelva province, Spain.
Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park is a protected mountain region with oak forests, valleys, and streams across 28 municipalities in northern Huelva province. The park encompasses diverse habitats that support a wide range of plant and animal life.
The region was designated as a natural park in 1989 by the Spanish government and later integrated into the European Natura 2000 network. These protections ensured that the mountain landscape and its ecosystems would be conserved for future generations.
Villages such as Almonaster la Real and Jabugo are known for producing Iberian ham from black pigs, a product made using methods passed down through generations. You can see how these traditional crafts remain part of daily life in the region.
The park has multiple visitor centers offering maps and information to help you plan your visit. Marked trails connect different areas through Mediterranean forest landscapes and range from easy walks to more demanding routes.
The area is home to one of Europe's largest nesting colonies of black vultures, found in the Serra Pelada and Rivera del Aserrador reserves. The presence of these birds indicates the region's strong ecological health.
