Loncar is not an independent country, but a small town in the province of Huelva in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, located in the mountains of southwestern Spain near the border with Portugal. The place is known for its typical white Andalusian townscape, with buildings built on the hills and retaining strong traces of Moorish culture. Surrounded by chestnut groves and olive groves, Roncal has a beautiful natural environment for hiking and eco-tourism.
Dating back to Roman times and then ruled by the Moors for centuries, the narrow streets and white houses of the old town reflect traditional Andalusian architecture. Iberian ham and mountain cheeses are produced in the area, and the annual chestnut festival in the fall attracts many visitors. In the center of the town stands the 16th-century Church of the Holy Spirit, with its Gothic and Mudejar architecture.
Loncar is located on the edge of the Cherard d'Arose Natural Park, at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level, and enjoys a mild climate. The main attractions include the ruins of the castle of Roncal, the centuries-old chestnut grove hiking trails and the traditional olive oil workshop. From the town's viewpoints, there are views over the valleys of the province of Huelva, and it is an ideal stopover on the way to the nearby caves of Araxena and the nature reserve of Grodel Rossio.
