Rio makes it popular with bike riders. Palma del Rio is an interesting
place and birthplace of many andalusian artists. You can find
authentic Flamenco dancing in the evening and enjoy very good
tapas in the bars & restaurants. Some years ago the monastery
was restored and converted into one of Spains most original
hotels, the 22-room Hospederia de San Francisco. Accommodation

from frugal. with its interesting walled old quarter, Palma del
Rio is the perfect base for exploring one of Andalusias
picturesque wilderness parks, the Sierra de Hornachuelos. The
165,000 acre park has one of the largest colonies of the rare
black vulture.
