Tomares: Olive Landscapes and Historic Buildings
Accommodation in Tomares
Tomares combines a large natural area with historic architecture. Parque Olivar del ZaudĂn shapes the landscape with its olive ecosystem, lagoons and diverse wildlife; churches and haciendas add their own distinctive features. As you plan your trip, you can decide whether to focus on nature, local history or both. The specific places and features below can help guide you when looking for a hotel in Tomares.
Nature in Parque Olivar del ZaudĂn
Parque Olivar del ZaudĂn is a park-like olive ecosystem covering more than 45 hectares in Tomares. Four lagoons and a diverse range of animal and plant life define this natural area. It is a breeding and resting site for many birds during migration. Species living there include the little owl, lesser kestrel and peregrine falcon. Breeding and resting during migration describe the park’s different roles throughout the year.
The park’s green Sendero Saludable trail is 2.6 kilometres long, has a cumulative positive elevation gain of 28 metres and is of moderate difficulty. You can plan your walk around its 2.6-kilometre length, 28-metre ascent and moderate difficulty. As route information may be updated, check it before setting out.
Aula de la Naturaleza is a nature interpretation centre and museum. It has a 53-square-metre, air-conditioned space for environmental education, exhibitions and talks; the programme may vary. Parque Olivar del ZaudĂn includes a kiosk bar and a children’s play area; the play area is directly accessible from the entrance at Calle Rosa de Luxemburgo 64. As facilities may change, check their current status before your visit.
Buildings and local history
Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Belén was built in 1708. Its interior consists of three naves, separated by round arches supported by white marble columns. The visit centres on the 1708 building and its interior, divided by arches and marble columns. Tomares’s historic centre is pedestrianised.
Hacienda Montefuerte was established in the 17th century as a typical olive farm and today houses the “José Mª Delgado Buiza” municipal library. Its architectural setting includes the Torre Montefuerte lookout tower, one of Tomares’s most distinctive architectural features. Here, the hacienda’s historic function as an olive farm meets its present-day use as a municipal library.
In the garden of Hacienda Santa Ana is the HabitaciĂłn del Agua: a large, rectangular, terraced and partly covered pond with several water spouts. There is also a platform for public outdoor events. The Tesoro de Tomares consists of 19 Roman amphorae containing 50,000 bronze coins from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. Its dating adds a distinct archaeological connection to the local architectural themes.
