Flora and fauna

In the Subbética region there are two distinct areas, on the one hand, the area within the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, made up of gentle mountain ranges and valleys, and on the other, the countryside, rich in vineyards, cereals and olive groves.

The flora of the Natural Park is typically Mediterranean, with 17 Habitats of Community Interest which are home to a large number of endangered species (11 in the Andalusian Catalogue of Threatened Species), as well as the greatest floral diversity in the province of Córdoba (more than 1880 species), including some endemic species exclusive to these sierras.

The holm oak dominates the area, together with a large proportion of gall oaks. The cushion thorn scrub stands out on the highest peaks, as well as the fine broom and blue broom, the latter known as "cojín de monja".

It is worth mentioning that, on the escarpments, gorges, crevices, nooks and crannies, etc., there are rocky birds such as peregrine falcons, eagle owls, griffon vultures, golden eagles, Bonelli's eagles, red-billed choughs and red rock thrushes.

Finally, the abundant caves of the geopark offer shelter to an important diversity of bats, with 16 described species.
