IT is known as â
El Sartenâ, the frying pan of Spain because itâs location in a dip surrounded by the olive groves of La Campina means it regularly records the hottest temperatures in southern Europe.
But Ecija is also dubbed the âCity of Towersâ and âCity of Palacesâ, no surprise when you see the skyline interrupted by several dozen towers, some with detailed ceramic work and usually topped by a stork nest.
Located 85km from Sevilla, a visit to this gem of a town is like stepping back in time. And if you are struggling under the weight of tourism in the provincial capital, or nearby Cordoba, you certainly won’t be here: Itâs unlikely youâll hear a single English accent, even after COVID.
