Santa Ana La Real: Nature, Trails and Festivals
Santa Ana La Real is located in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, which is part of the Dehesas de Sierra Morena Biosphere Reserve. Among the area’s notable natural attractions are the Chorros de Joyarancón, a waterfall more than 15 metres high. The path to the waterfall starts at Puente de Los Casares, crosses the river twice and then continues through pine and chestnut trees.
Trails and Routes
The Bosque de las Letras is a cultural and tourist route around Santa Ana La Real. The trail is approximately 5 kilometres long and starts and ends in the village. At several reading points, literary texts are displayed in the natural surroundings. The El Risco de Levante trail begins near the Fuente de los Tres Caños in Santa Ana La Real.
The Ruta Astronómica is an approximately 2.5-kilometre astronomical circular trail. Information boards present texts and images, while QR codes supplement the stations with audio information. A granite table is provided for telescope observation. The route introduces visitors to the solar system, nocturnal navigation and the identification of the main constellations. The Sendero de Las Coscojas (SL-A 284) is a circular trail that starts and ends in La Presa, a hamlet of Santa Ana La Real. It passes through chestnut forest and along paths between holm oaks and cork oaks. Different trail lengths and circular-route formats can be compared when planning a day trip.
