Two very different landscapes, a wealth of architectural and artistic heritage, and routes with varied connections to Seville shape the opportunities for exploration around Camas.

Landscape and Views

In Camas, the Vega del Guadalquivir and the Altiplanicie del Aljarafe can be distinguished as two clearly different natural areas. The Mirador del Cerro de Santa Brígida offers a direct view of Seville. At 110 metres high, it is the highest viewpoint in the area. A path from the Jardín de Atalaya neighbourhood leads to the viewpoint. If you would like to make a view a central part of your stay, this gives you both a named destination and a described route to reach it.

Architecture and History

The Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de Gracia offers several ways to explore the history of art and architecture: it has a neoclassical main altar and houses sculptures and paintings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The present-day church was built on the remains of two churches dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. Its architectural history and furnishings thus bring together different periods.

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Guía presents a different architectural form: the Almohad chapel has a square floor plan, an octagonal dome, arcades and columns. At the Cortijo de Gambogaz, the tower in the Gothic-Mudéjar style catches the eye. The Monumento al Toreo, meanwhile, is a bullfighting monument by the Sevillian artist Jaime Gil Arévalo. The Plaza de la Cruz is described as a very old square in Camas. Each of these stops offers a different focus—from chapel architecture and a tower to a monument and a square.

The history of El Carambolo can also be viewed through two specific dates. Archaeological excavations there identified an important religious complex with five construction phases at the beginning of the 21st century. The Treasure of El Carambolo was discovered in 1958, after workers drew attention to the find while the Tiro de Pichón facilities were being expanded. The excavations and the discovery of the treasure are distinct chapters in this history.

Routes and Connections

The route descriptions answer different planning questions. The Vía Ciclista Camas-Sevilla connects the Aljarafe to Seville’s urban cycle network at two points on Isla de La Cartuja—Torre Triana and Estadio Olímpico. The Camino Natural Vía Verde de Itálica is a route just under three kilometres long in the area around Seville, in the direction of Camas. The first stage of the Camino a Santiago: Vía Plata is a different route: it passes through the centre of Camas, near the Ayuntamiento and Iglesia de Santa María de Gracia.

The Cercanías C5 line and bus route M-107 from Estación Plaza de Armas are listed as connections to Camas from Seville. Check the current timetable before travelling. If you have a particular route or connection firmly planned, also check the current route; cycle connections may change due to infrastructure works.

Events, Food and Special Interests

The Feria de Camas takes place in September in honour of the Virgen de los Dolores. As the exact dates may vary from year to year, check the dates for your planned visit. As for local cuisine, braised bull’s tongue is considered a typical dish of Camas; you can try it at the bodegas in La Pañoleta. As offerings at individual establishments may change, check in advance whether tastings are available.

The Instalaciones Deportivas de Tiro Olímpico in Camas cater to another specific interest: they offer activities and competitions in sport shooting and Olympic shooting. The facilities include an air-gun shooting hall and shooting ranges of 25 and 50 metres. If you are planning to take part, check the conditions before your visit.
