Aracena & Río Tinto Mines: Full-Day Tour from Seville in Seville - AdobeStock_493660046.jpg

Ready to go beyond Seville? Let your local host take you deep into the hills of western Andalusia for a journey unlike any other. On this private day trip to Aracena and the legendary Río Tinto Mines, you’ll uncover a whole new side of Spain—where surreal landscapes, underground wonders, and mining heritage come together in a single unforgettable adventure.

This experience isn’t just about ticking off places—it’s about understanding Spain beyond its cities. With your knowledgeable host by your side, you’ll dive into stories that shaped Aracena, explore the magical Gruta de las Maravillas, and stroll through Aracena’s charming old town. Then, journey into the heart of Spain’s mining legacy at the Riotinto Mining Park, where the Mining Museum and the beautifully preserved Casa 21 (a British Victorian home) reveal how this region once powered an empire.

From the crimson-colored waters of the Río Tinto river to the tranquil peaks of Sierra de Aracena, this full-day tour offers a rich contrast to the urban elegance of Seville. Your host will share local legends, personal stories, and cultural insights that paint a fuller picture of Andalusia’s diversity.

Want to tailor the route to your interests? Easy. Whether you're passionate about geology, photography, or ham tastings in Jabugo, your host is happy to personalize the day to make it your own.

Your host isn’t just a guide—they’re a storyteller. With backgrounds ranging from history to the arts, they’ll show you Spain through their eyes. By the end of the day, you won’t just have seen another part of the country—you’ll have felt it.

Get ready to make their Spain, your Spain.
