Arahal, Spain - Iglesia de la Santísima Vera Cruz
With a population of just under 20,000, Arahal is one of the larger Andalucian towns in the area, situated about 45km to the east of the provincial capital, Seville, and lying on a relatively flat plain at a height of 117 metres above sea level. The town's history goes back to Roman times, whilst today it is renowned as Spain’s main producer of chamomile and apple flavoured table olives. There is much pleasure in walking around its narrow streets; some of which lead, inevitably, to the town's attractive main, triangular shaped square, the 'Plaza Corredera', bordered on one side by the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). Other impressive buildings include two churches, the 'Parroquia Santa María Magdalena de Arahal' and the 'Parroquia Nuestra Señora De La Victoria'. Although somewhat off the beaten track for tourists, it's a charming, relaxed and unassuming place to visit. There are plenty more photos of Arahal and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.
