Torrepalma: Horses, Trails and History

Torrepalma is a development in the municipality of Carmona, in the province of Seville. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between different themes: horse experiences at Yeguada Torreluna, Roman sites in nearby Carmona, and trails and activities in the surrounding area. Whether you want to focus your stay on stud farm visits, archaeology or outdoor activities will shape which aspects matter most to you.

Trails and activities in the surrounding area

The first section of the Vereda del Término drovers’ trail runs through the Torrepalma development. In the area around Torrepalma, the Alcores slopes are suitable for climbing and paragliding. A walking trail also follows the route of a disused railway line in the surrounding area. The walking trail and the activities available in the Alcores offer different points of focus. Mountain biking is one of the activities available to guests at Hacienda Torrepalma.

Visits to Yeguada Torreluna

Visits to Yeguada Torreluna can be arranged by appointment; check availability before you travel. “Scientific Tour + Tradiciones Show” combines a guided tour of the stud farm with a live equestrian show. On the guided visit “The Story of a Champion,” you’ll learn how a champion horse is born, raised and trained. “Making of the Show” gives you access to a real rehearsal inspired by Andalusian traditions. The live performance “Tradiciones” is inspired by Holy Week, the Feria, El Rocío and Carnival. When choosing, consider whether a stud farm tour with a show, the story of a champion horse or a behind-the-scenes look at a rehearsal matters most to you.

Roman heritage and history in Carmona

In nearby Carmona, the Roman Necropolis is considered one of the largest and best-preserved Roman burial complexes on the Iberian Peninsula. The Roman Amphitheatre is partly carved into the rock of the Alcor; gladiatorial games and other performances were held there. The two sites offer clearly different experiences: the Necropolis is a burial complex, while the Amphitheatre was a venue for gladiatorial games and performances. Carmona’s Three Kings’ Parade was first held in 1956.

The name of the Condado de Torrepalma, created for the Verdugo family, refers to Hacienda Torrepalma in Carmona. A civil heraldic work from 1693 is associated with the name Torrepalma and the hacienda of the same name; it is in poor condition.

Hacienda and architecture

Hacienda Torrepalma is offered as a wedding venue. It has a large courtyard with a swimming pool and private parking. As event offerings and facility details may change, confirm the venue’s availability and the amenities available for your stay before booking. The residence at Hacienda Torrepalma is housed in a former manor house and a 17th-century lookout tower.

Finca La Luz is an estate in a typically Andalusian architectural style, surrounded by a garden and an orchard of olive, orange and other fruit trees.
