It's a very cute town with a lot of historic monuments and an amazing cave: The Gruta de las Maravillas (Cave of Marvels).
The Gruta de las Maravillas is one of the most spectacular cave systems in Spain. The caves are located below the hill on which stands Aracena Castle. The caves are said to have been found by a boy looking for a lost pig. Several caverns and lakes are linked by narrow passages. Coloured lighting adds to the effects of the unusual formations of minerals. In the complex is an interesting, geological museum.
