Casilla La Rambla's location within the Subbetica 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.
