Entrerríos lies between the courses of the Guadiana and Zújar rivers. The history of the Pueblo de colonización, its public squares and riverside paths give the town several distinct points of interest. When planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus more on the town’s architecture, river landscape or annual festivals.

Architecture in the town

The Pueblo de colonización de Entrerríos was designed in 1953 by Alejandro de la Sota Martínez. The town hall is a three-storey building with a portico on the ground floor; a small clock tower with a ceramic spire rises above the third floor. The Pueblo also has a ceramic mural by the artist Arcadio Blasco Pastor. Together, the town’s history, town hall and mural offer different ways to explore its architecture.

Entrerríos is known for its distinctive round square and fountains. In November 2023, a continuous level platform was inaugurated at Plaza de España, removing architectural barriers. The southeastern part of the square contains a landscaped garden area. The architecture and the design of the public space thus stand as separate aspects.

River landscape and routes

On the right bank of the Zújar lies the naturalistic Playa de Entrerríos. It has a picnic area located 200 metres from the town centre. The Playa is designated as tourist infrastructure and an official bathing area; this status may change seasonally or due to regulations. Water conditions may also vary depending on the time of year. Take these conditions into account when planning a visit to the river.

The Camino Natural del Guadiana approaches Entrerríos along the right bank of the Guadiana. The route skirts Isla Trompeta, a landform enclosed by a new branch of the Guadiana. There are two birdwatching posts along the route for travellers with an interest in ornithology. It also passes the ruins of a watermill. This path therefore combines riverside scenery with opportunities for observation and a historic structure.

A different option is an alternative route along the Zújar, which may be flooded during periods of heavy rainfall. Check local conditions before setting out. The possible water level is therefore a specific planning consideration for this route, while the birdwatching posts and mill ruins offer their own points of interest along the Camino Natural.

Festivals throughout the year

The Romería de San Isidro takes place every year in Entrerríos; a procession leads the celebration to Playa de Entrerríos. The 2024 programme included kayaking on the Zújar. The annual return of the Romería should be distinguished from this specific programme item: the kayaking was listed for the 2024 programme.

The festival in honour of the Virgen de Begoña is also celebrated every year in October. Dates and programmes may change. The festivities include a public Caldereta; check locally whether and when it will take place again. Festival days can provide a different focus for planning your stay than architecture or routes. When planning your accommodation, it helps to decide first whether you would like to discover Entrerríos mainly through its history, river landscape or a festival date.
