Guided tour of Arcos de la Frontera

Cabildo Square

Where you are standing now

At the top of this page you can see the Old Quarter of Arcos de la Frontera on the clifftop. It's a maze of narrow streets leading to small open squares, and its atmosphere is uniquely Andalucian. The myriad historical details in the heart of the Old Quarter, some of which are easily overlooked, provide us with a fascinating snapshot of the town's past. There's a lot to see, so come with us on our guided tour. You can follow our progress on the map above right. Let's start at Cabildo Square (click the picture above left to enlarge it) - check out its stunning viewpoint scanning the surrounding countryside. The square, which was once used as a bullring, is a natural focal point for the visitor to Arcos de la Frontera, lying as it does right outside St. Mary's church - the town's touristic centerpiece.
