Just an hour drive from Seville, monumental capital of Andalucía. the Sierra Morena Mountain Refuge was born out of a challenge to integrate outstanding natural areas la Sierras de Aracena and Tentudía, on the border of interior Andalucía and Extremadura (south west Spain), with the realization of different trekking routes while the "feel good factor" is the only rule.

The refuge is right into the heart of the Sierra Morena. This is a massive range containing many smaller sierras. The Sierra de Aracena is quite popular, but the lesser known range of the Sierra de Tentudia is rarely visited. Although climate is mediterranean it is quite humid, allowing important forest of Cork Oak to grow.

The Sierra de Tentudia are a range of hills and peaks north of the pleasant and rural town of Arroyomolinos de León, in the province of Huelva. Bonales (1058m), Cerro Gordo (1037m) and Tentudia itself (1110m) are the main peaks. There are no dramatic cliffs and faces here though. The area is very rural and at first glance, much greener than you would expect this close to the sizzling heat of Sevilla! There are no foreigners living here and the pace of life is slow.

The Respect and Learning between us, the diversity and the cultural exchange should lead us to enjoy the moment and have a good time. We will be guided towards doing things in a Simple, “Basic” way, in order to savour and enjoy the experience to the maximum, whether that be whilst trekking, picking wild mushrooms, asparagus, riding our donkey “Flora”, watching mountain, flora, fauna films …, helping neighbours with mini rural projects (repairing walls and stone tracks), helping us working in the organic vegetable garden, cooking traditional recipes on an open fire, whatever YOU want, .. All this while enjoying the excellence of the mountain farmhouse “BIENSEVIVE” which perfectly combines the Simple, “Basic” with today´s cosy, charming living conditions, at 900 m altitude right in the middle of a breathtaking wild mediterranean forest,

This adventure is for healthy, friendly, open minded, young mentality people from all ages, who are wiling to enjoy the beauties of the place while doing trekking around the base Camp “Farmhouse Biensevive”.

The core idea is that we will try to show you around not as a regular touristic way but instead as a guest, sharing with you experiences of difficult access to outsiders and that the activities besides trekking will depend on the season you arrive, following the local natural and cultural calendar, and your own expectations. Nevertheless, the main activity of Walk Tentudia remains TREKKING, with the advantage of being able to do it in a natural environnment that is rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage, but which is also in danger of extinction, which makes us penetrate into its roots and don't only walk within it, but also maybe see, hear, listen, drink, converse, disconnect, and sing (those who can!). We don't yet know where this is taking us, but we do know that our experience up until now have shown us how worthwhile this is, and there are people to whom we are already eternally grateful for their honesty and generosity: Francisco, Vito, Manuel Carretero, Richard, Manolo “la Verde” who are, amongst others, the pillars of this project. We speak spanish, english and french.
