La Zarza-Perrunal is a small town, or municipality, located in the Province of Huelva in southern Spain. It is part of the Andalusia region. This area is known for its beautiful landscapes and rich history.
Until 1991, this municipality was known by two different names: Silos de Calañas and Minas de Perrunal. It officially became La Zarza-Perrunal when the two towns, La Zarza and Perrunal, joined together in 2018. Before that, they were part of a larger municipality called Calañas.
La Zarza-Perrunal is situated in the Andévalo area, but it's also very close to the Sierra de Aracena mountains. This means it has a mix of flat and hilly land, making it a unique place to live and visit.
About La Zarza-Perrunal
La Zarza-Perrunal is a relatively new municipality, formed by the union of two smaller towns. This happened in 2018, making it one of the newer independent towns in the region. It has a small population, with about 1,253 people living there as of 2020.

The area is part of the Andévalo comarca, which is a traditional region in Huelva. However, it's also located at the base of the Sierra de Aracena mountain range. This gives the municipality a varied landscape, from rolling hills to more rugged terrain.
