To the southwest of Marchena, situated next to the A92 motorway is the town of El Arahal.
Arahal is a truly authentic Sevillana town; the cobblestone streets, the use of mosaics
and other assorted colorful tiles. The town is vibrant and full of Tapas bars as well as many
fine dining establishments.
The village is flat and is an easy walk to everything. All amenities are located in the main shopping district.
There are schools at the primary and secondary levels. There are also several Flamenco bars where you can watch
live shows late into the night!
The rail line that crosses the province of Seville passes next to El Arahal and there is a train station
just outside the town. There is a large municipal pool with bar/restaurant and gardens.
The town of 19,000 offers fantastic value and is for the most part still very Spanish.
The Junta de Andalucia finally passed a new law which will take away for up to five years the planning decisions from local Town Halls in the case of irregularities. Plans have also been announced to build a new motorway to link all of Andalucia in the next 3 years.
