Holiday apartment in Salteras: Nature, Culture and Hatmaking Tradition

Salteras is a place that reveals itself through different facets. Nature, culture and local characteristics exist side by side, creating a varied picture for anyone who wants to get to know Andalusia beyond interchangeable impressions.

Nature

Parque del Chorrito covers more than 40,000 square metres. The grounds include several recreational areas with picnic spots, meaning that the park is defined not only by its size but also by its clearly designated areas for spending time there. Inside Parque del Chorrito, there is a network of paths and trails. The Parque Medioambiental de la Cárcava del Chorrito is also part of Salteras' landscape. It is a recreational area of considerable scenic value.

Culture

Music and festival traditions are also associated with Salteras. The Sociedad Filarmónica Nuestra Señora del Carmen de Salteras is one of Salteras' two centenary musical organisations. The Corpus Christi festival is celebrated in Salteras in August. Alongside the town's architectural landmarks, longstanding musical and festive traditions therefore take centre stage.

History

Construction of the parish church of Santa María de la Oliva in Salteras began in 1540 in the Mudejar style. Another religious building is the chapel of the Virgen de la Oliva, which was built in 1954 over an earlier hermitage. The chapel houses an image of the Virgen de la Oliva from the 16th century by an unknown artist. The Virgen de la Oliva is considered the patron saint of Salteras and of all olive growers in the province. The chapel also houses a Baroque altarpiece.

Craftsmanship

The Fernández y ROCHE factory is a special example of the connection between the town and craftsmanship. Its hatmaking tradition has existed in Salteras since 1885. The Fernández y ROCHE hat factory can be visited as part of guided tours. Hat production is therefore mentioned not only as a historical tradition, but is also linked to a specific place and a possible way of visiting it.

Getting around

There is a specific stop for rail connections: the Cercanías C5 line stops at Salteras station.

Cuisine

There is also a clearly identified speciality from a culinary perspective. Grilled meat is considered a speciality in Salteras' restaurants.
