If you travel between Cordoba and Seville, be sure to make a stop in the picturesque historic town of Carmona. Here you will find beautiful streets with many churches and a monumental gate to the city center.

Plaza Blas Infante

The Blas Infante Plaza is an ideal place to start your tour. Although the square itself is just a fountain in the middle of the roundabout, there is a beautiful view of the Church of San Pedro with the dominant bell tower 54 meters high, which is such a reduced copy of the Seville Giralda.
