Salteras offers several ways to make the most of your stay: green recreational spaces, the hat-making tradition of Fernández y ROCHE, and historic buildings. You can get to know the town through its nature, crafts or architecture.
Green spaces and paths
A municipal description from 2011 gives Parque del Chorrito an area of more than 40,000 square metres, several recreational areas with picnic spots, and a network of paths and trails inside the park. The paths offer a way to get active; the picnic spots provide another way to spend time outdoors. If the condition of the paths or picnic areas matters for your visit, check in advance.
Parque Medioambiental de la Cárcava del Chorrito is a recreational area of great scenic value. The landscape is therefore another point of interest if you would like to explore Salteras beyond its buildings and cultural attractions.
Hat-making tradition in Salteras
The Fernández y ROCHE factory is located in Salteras, where the craft of hat-making has been practised since 1885. The factory can be visited as part of a guided tour. If you would like to focus on local crafts, it offers a specific cultural option alongside the recreational areas. Check in advance for possible tour dates.
Church, chapel and music
Construction of the parish church of Santa María de la Oliva began in 1540 in the Mudéjar style. The chapel of Virgen de la Oliva was built in 1954 on the site of an earlier hermitage. It houses an image of Virgen de la Oliva from the 16th century by an unknown artist, as well as a Baroque altarpiece. The depicted Virgen is considered the patron saint of Salteras and of all olive growers in the province. The Virgen is considered both the patron saint of Salteras and the patron saint of all olive growers in the province. There are 414 years between the start of construction of the church and the building of the chapel.
Local music includes the Sociedad Filarmónica Nuestra Señora del Carmen de Salteras, one of Salteras’s two century-old musical ensembles. Corpus Christi is celebrated in Salteras in August. If you are travelling for the festival, check the exact date in advance. This makes it possible to plan a trip centred on a festival differently from a visit focused on architecture or crafts.
Getting there and a local speciality
Cercanías line C5 stops at Salteras station. If you are considering the train as a travel option, check the timetable for your travel date. Grilled meat is considered a local speciality in Salteras’s restaurants. These travel and dining options add two practical planning points to the cultural and nature-related attractions of your stay.
