Although its time under the Moors was one of its most successful, Arcos has had a long history of occupation, as shown by the discovery of numerous archaeological remains from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Tartessian, Phoenician and Roman periods.

There is also a reservoir (embalse), the Lago de Arcos and part of the reservoir is a protected area, the Cola del Embalse de Arcos Natural Area where grey, purple and night herons, egrets, ospreys and otters make their home.

Thanks to Arcos unique mountainous position, we can enjoy magnificent panoramic views from a hot air balloon. Enjoy the beauty of the landscape, the farmhouses, the forests, the village, the castle, the amazing lookout points
