Parque Natural de Las Sierras Subbéticas
Parque Natural de Las Sierras Subbéticas
Parque Natural de Las Sierras Subbéticas is situated in the south of the Córdoba province on the northwestern flanks of Andalucía’s Sistema Subbética Mountains. It is a rolling, semi-mountainous region of Mediterranean vegetation and peculiarly shaped limestone outcroppings. There are numerous opportunities for mountaineering, climbing and mountain biking in this karst landscape of crags, fissures and deep chasms.
In the lower elevations, the park is colored with forests of holm and gall oaks, maples and the poplars that have sprung up along the Bailón and Palancar rivers. These waterways wind through the park, harboring little Miller’s shrews. Valleys are strewn with small white villages and mottled with olive groves. Wild boar, hares and peregrine falcons are a common sight and, to a lesser extent, foxes, hedgehogs and ferrets. Other flying predators, including the griffon vulture, share air-space with an assortment of song birds, cuckoos, bee-eaters, partridges, swifts and occasionally humans defying the laws of gravity.
