Almonaster la Real is in the Sierra de Aracena, about 100 kilometres northwest of Sevilla. By car, take the A-66 motorway north from Sevilla toward Zafra, then the N-435 west toward Huelva and follow local roads to Almonaster — the journey takes about 90 minutes.
There is a railway station at Almonaster-Cerro del Andévalo, on the Huelva–Zafra line, though services are infrequent (a few trains a day at best) and the station is not in the village itself. Most visitors arrive by car. Aracena, 18 kilometres east, is the main hub for the sierra and has better bus connections from Huelva and Sevilla.
