Holiday Apartment in Camas – Churches, Views and Routes in the Aljarafe

Camas encompasses two clearly distinct natural areas: the Vega del Guadalquivir and the Altiplanicie del Aljarafe. Between these landscapes lie historic buildings, archaeological traces, viewpoints and routes that connect the town with Seville and its wider surroundings. Those comparing holiday apartments in Camas will therefore find a destination where culture, landscape and different ways of getting around come together through specific places.

Culture

The townscape is dominated by the Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, with a neoclassical high altar. Inside are sculptures and paintings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The present-day church was built on the remains of two churches from the 16th and 17th centuries. The very old Plaza de la Cruz provides another historic focal point.

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Guía is an Almohad chapel with a square floor plan, an octagonal dome, arcades and columns. At the Cortijo de Gambogaz, the tower has a Gothic-Mudejar style. The Monumento al Toreo commemorates a Sevillian artistic tradition as a bullfighting monument and was created by the artist Jaime Gil Arévalo.

El Carambolo is particularly closely associated with archaeology. Excavations at the beginning of the 21st century identified an important religious complex there with five construction phases. The Treasure of El Carambolo had already been discovered in 1958, after workers were alerted to the find while expanding the facilities of Tiro de Pichón. Thus, Camas brings together a history of sacred architecture and a site with a name known far beyond the region, without the individual historic locations losing their distinct character.

Landscape

The Mirador del Cerro de Santa Brígida offers views over Seville. At 110 m high, it is the highest viewpoint in the area. The viewpoint can be reached via a path from the Jardín de Atalaya district. The combination of viewpoint, route and the two clearly distinct natural areas makes the landscape of Camas visible as a concrete sequence of different connections between places.

Routes and connections

For the cycling network, the Vía Ciclista Camas-Sevilla provides a direct connection between the Aljarafe and Seville. It connects the Aljarafe at two points on Isla de La Cartuja—Torre Triana and the Estadio Olímpico—to Seville’s urban cycling network. The Camino Natural Vía Verde de Itálica is a route just under 3 km long in the area around Seville, heading towards Camas.

A stage of the Camino de Santiago also passes through the town: Stage 1 of the Camino a Santiago: Vía Plata runs through the centre of Camas, passing close to the Ayuntamiento and the Iglesia de Santa María de Gracia. From Seville, Camas can be reached via the C5 Cercanías line. Bus route M-107 also runs from Estación Plaza de Armas to Camas.

Local life

The events calendar includes a regular September date with the Feria de Camas. The festival is held in honour of the Virgen de los Dolores. A culinary speciality can be found in the bodegas of La Pañoleta: there, you can try stewed bull’s tongue, which is considered a typical dish of Camas.

The town’s special facilities also include the Instalaciones Deportivas de Tiro Olímpico in Camas. They offer activities and competitions in sport shooting and Olympic shooting. The facility has an airgun shooting hall as well as 25- and 50-metre shooting ranges.

When comparing holiday apartments in Camas, review the specific offer details separately from the information about the town. Check the exact location, type of accommodation, possible occupancy, included services, individual price components, and booking and cancellation conditions. This makes it possible to identify which features belong to each offer. Compare the displayed offers based on the points that matter for your stay.
