Peña de Arias Montano

Nature · Alájar, Sierra de Huelva, Huelva

Rock outcrop with panoramic views over the south of the province, with a network of caves — including the one known as Palacio Oscuro — and a 6th-century early Christian baptismal font; the humanist Benito Arias Montano retired here after working on the Polyglot Bible and the Council of Trent.
