Its narrow streets lead us to discover the history that is hidden among its corners.
Our next stop is El Borge, where traditions and local architecture intertwine to offer an authentic experience.

Entering La Subbética, we arrive at Fuente de Piedra, famous for its lagoon and nature reserve, home to flamingos and a unique variety of birds. We continue to Salar, where the streets and white architecture lead us to explore its rich history.
The journey leads us to Iznájar, located on a promontory next to the largest reservoir in Andalusia. The reflection of the village in the waters creates an unforgettable landscape.
