The city of Carmona is one of the most beautiful cities in Andalusia. There are more than 500 archaeological sites in the surrounding area, which testifies to its antiquity that exceeds 2000 years. The Parador is located in the centre of Carmona, near places of interest such as the Puerta de Sevilla, the Museum of the City of Carmona, the Teatro Cerezo and the Town Hall. 10 minutes of walking will take you to the Archaeological Ensemble of this municipality.
Seville, the Andalusian capital bathed by the Guadalquivir River, is barely thirty kilometres away. Here you can visit some of Spain’s most spectacular monuments such as La Giralda, the Torre del Oro, its Gothic Cathedral, or wander through the Barrio de Triana or the Reales Alcázares.
The Priory of Santa María and the Convent of Santa Clara are also noteworthy. The Carmona tourist office offers free guided tours from Wednesday to Sunday (book in advance and subject to availability). Don't forget to try typical sweets such as the torta inglesa, a dessert with Islamic influences, made with eggs, sugar and “cabello de ángel” - pumpkin stewed in sugar syrup. You’ll also love the oil buns, rice pudding, French toast in sweet wine and honey, homemade polvorones, almond buns and the tasty chestnut stew with cinnamon.
Seville, the Andalusian capital bathed by the Guadiana River, is just half an hour away. Famous all over the world for its brightness and joyful atmosphere, its historical centre is also home to some of Spain's most important monuments. If you head to Seville, don’t miss out on La Giralda, the Torre del Oro, the Gothic Cathedral and a walk through the Triana neighbourhood.
Within Seville’s municipal boundaries lies the Roman city of Italica, birthplace of the emperors Hadrian and Trajan. This archaeological site is remarkable for its scale and the high degree of preservation of its remains. This Roman city was in used until the Islamic period, when it became a quarry for materials and was known as Sevilla la Vieja (Old Seville).
Ten kilometres away from the Parador lies the Hacienda of the Morillo Ruiz family, where some six thousand olive trees of the aberquina variety are cultivated. Book visits by writing an email to visitas@basilippo.com or telephone 955 740 695.
