Carmona is a relaxing and beautiful city located 30 km northeast of Seville. Their origins go back to the neolithic period as the  innumerable archaeological deposits that have been found in the environs demonstrate. It was a city of great importance during Roman times (from its Latin name, Carmo, the present denomination of the city comes) and also played an outstanding role in the Arabic period, during which it got to be, even, capital city of a kingdom. This is easy to understand as soon as we noticed ourselves of the situation of the city,  on top of a rock, at the end of the Highs of the Alcor. Looking out from the main terrace of the Inn of Carmona, the highest point in the City, in a Sunday afternoon, it is easy to imagine to Moor King overlooking the horizon, supervising his dominions, waiting for the sudden appearance of his enemies...

Carmona has many and remarkable heritage landmarks, most of them pertaining to the Roman, Arab and medieval period. In addition it is provided with attractive tourist facilities, with multitude of Hotels, Restaurants, Taverns, etc... By road the easiest access is through the N-4 highway, that links Madrid with Seville. Frequent communication by bus exists with Seville. Carmona is also very close (20 km) to the international airport of Seville.
