Torre De La Reina: Holiday Apartment Between Cultural Heritage and Nature

Torre De La Reina combines significant cultural heritage with natural areas, cultural events and traditional celebrations. The Cortijo de la Torre de la Reina in Guillena (Seville) was declared a national historic-artistic monument by Royal Decree 2805/1977 of 6 October. This places a specifically designated architectural monument at the centre of the locality, whose name also plays a role in present-day events.

Culture

In a new edition of Noches en Blanco, the Cortijo de Torre de la Reina served as the main venue for a series of cultural activities. That edition also included chamber concerts at the Cortijo de Torre de la Reina. Thus, the protected historic complex and a specific programme of events come together at this location, without the two aspects being the same.

The Portal de Belén Futurista Museum is also located in the vicinity of Torre de la Reina. The ancient site of the Teatro Romano Santiponce is in the area surrounding Torre de la Reina. The Museo Municipal Fernando Marmolejo is likewise located nearby. The different designations—museum and ancient site—identify independent destinations in the surroundings of the locality.

The Parque Forestal de Torre de la Reina is freely accessible and offers 54 hectares of natural area for recreation and outdoor leisure. The park is in the immediate vicinity of the locality of the same name and covers 54,000 square metres. The most common tree species in the Parque Forestal de Torre de la Reina include holm oak and Portuguese oak. Route 3 from Torre de la Reina to Alcalá del Río connects Torre de la Reina with Alcalá del Río.

Other destinations are also defined by different areas: Zoo de Sevilla is located in the vicinity of Torre de la Reina, as is Mundo Park Zoo. El Majuelo Park is in the immediate vicinity of Torre de la Reina. The same applies to Chuchelandia Park. Together with the Parque Forestal, its tree species and the connection to Alcalá del Río, this creates a setting in which natural areas, parks and named excursion destinations stand side by side.

Tradition

The Romería de San Isidro is celebrated in the locality of Torre de la Reina on the first Sunday in June, provided it does not coincide with the Romería del Rocío or the festivities of La Algaba. The inhabitants of Guillena also take part in the celebration. During the Romería de San Isidro, the Simpecado is carried from Torre de la Reina to Guillena; the route then leads back to Torre de la Reina.

After the religious service, the Romería de San Isidro continues to Parque de Torre de la Reina, where the pilgrimage groups spend a communal day beside their wagons. The programme therefore includes the religious service, the journey to Guillena, the return to Torre de la Reina and the subsequent stay at Parque de Torre de la Reina.
