a a ITÁLICA ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE SANTIPONCE

Marchena is a city famous for its his- toric architecture, particularly San Juan Bautista Church and the Arco de la Rosa gateway. It also has interesting Easter Week celebrations and is one of the cradles of Andalusian flamenco. If you want to explore the province's Roman past, visit the Itálica archaeo- logical site in Santiponce . Walk around the amphitheatre and the Adriano neighbourhood, with its beautiful mo- saics and sculptures. Follow a country pilgrimage route in the Guadiamar green corridor, in Aznalcázar. An excursion here in a

carriola (a little house on wheels) is an experience you will never forget. You can also go bird watching in the Dehesa de Abajo nature reserve or go through the rice fields of Isla Mínima and Isla Mayor . This is the largest rice production area in Europe, and has a unique landscape. If you are interested in geology, take a look at the natural monument of Cerro del Hierro , a karst terrain ideal for climbing.
