Address: Cabra, Córdoba
Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park is where Andalucía gets wild in the best way—think dramatic limestone peaks, olive groves that roll forever, and hilltop towns straight out of a movie. Just outside Cabra in Córdoba province, this UNESCO Global Geopark is a geological goldmine, with ancient fossils, vast caves, and the highest peak in the region: La Tiñosa at 1,570m.
The park’s karst landscape has been sculpted over millions of years, forming deep gorges, sinkholes, and caverns like the jaw-dropping Cueva de los Murciélagos near Zuheros. Hike, bike, or just soak up the views on the old shepherd trails that crisscross the hills—especially beautiful in spring when the wildflowers explode into color.
Cabra is your perfect base, with its sleepy charm, historic center, and killer olive oil. You’re also right on the Vía Verde del Aceite, a scenic former railway turned hiking and cycling route. Come for the raw nature, stay for the cave art, goat cheese, and endless photo ops.
