At the time you choose, we will meet in the Plaza de España to begin a walking tour of the historic center of Arcos de la Frontera. Are you ready to get to know this city in Cádiz?

First, we will approach the monument to Holy Week, where we will discuss the important role this celebration plays in the municipality. Did you know it has been declared a National Tourist Interest Festival? Not far from this sculpture, you will find the Church of San Juan de Dios, whose origins date back to the 16th century, as well as the Palace of the Count of Águila.

Our next stop will be at the place known as the Magical Circle, a spot connected to Islamic culture that will bring us closer to the most enigmatic and mysterious side of Arcos de la Frontera.
