National Park provides plenty of scope for you to explore stunning
countryside and picturesque villages by foot, car, or even mountain
bike.
The Park is a district made up of fourteen towns in the south of the
province of Cordoba, in the heart of Andalusia. The area is not touristy
and has some of the prettiest white towns and villages in Andalucia. It covers 159.190
hectares and is the home to mammals such as the wild cat and boar. The
is also a wide variety of bird life in the park including the black wheater, hoopoe, cuckoo, red legged partridge, rock bunting and alpine
swifts. In the outcrops and limestone crags the golden eagle, griffon
vulture and short-toed eagle have all made their homes, together with
the peregrine falcon which is the parks emblem.
The municipality has steep sierras, twisting rivers, springs of clear
water, castle and mediaeval watchtowers - bringing back its past as a
frontier land.
There is much to discover, including archaeological deposits,
impressive Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and beautiful Arabic
Andalusian villages.
