Silver Route from Seville to Mérida

You will start your first stretch of the Via de la Plata from Seville to Merida leaving the city of the Giralda through the Puerta de Triana square and crossing the Guadalquivir River. On leaving Seville you have the option of taking a detour through Camas or continuing on to Santiponce, where you can visit the ancient Roman city of Italica, the latter being the more recommendable option. Afterwards you will continue on tracks, crossing the streams of Los Molinos and Galapagar until you reach Guillena and finish the stage.

Guillena has a great cultural and natural heritage. We recommend you to visit the Cortijo Torre de la Reina, dating from the 13th century, which was a caliphal fortress for the defense of Seville, and the camp of King Ferdinand III the Saint. This Cortijo was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1977. The Mudejar church of Nuestra Señora de Granada and the Palace of Parladé, among others, also stand out. Gastronomically speaking, this area has a very varied cuisine, but the star dishes are undoubtedly game meats.
