The Subbetica region has 58 villages, most of them located within the Sierras Subbeticas Natural Park: 16 in Priego de Cordoba, 12 in Iznajar, or 6 in Rute.
By strolling through these villages, we can discover the true essence of the Subbética, a land with its own identity that offers us landscape values, traditional customs, craftsmanship, and a popular architecture that the traveler will quickly discover.
Getting to know these rural communities, booking in one of their accommodations, consuming in their small businesses, and enjoying the traditional gastronomy of their taverns and inns, will not only allow the traveler to know the authenticity of the region but also to contribute to the local economy, promoting sustainable development and helping to prevent depopulation of rural areas.
Finally, it should be noted that numerous hiking and mountain biking trails run through some of these villages: such is the case of the Arroyo Granada route in Almedinilla, Los Barrancos in Fuente Tojar, Arroyo Tijeras in Algar (Carcabuey), or the route of the Montes de San Miguel in Jauja (Lucena).
