Enjoy fishing, sailing, hiking or have a lazy day out at the Valdearenas beach.

Priego de Córdoba (40km)
This is the capital of Subbética and is said to be the least-known Baroque wonders of Andalucía. This picturesque town sits at the foot of the highest mountain in the province of Córdoba, the 1600m La Tiñosa. You would find many architectural treasures including the magnificent National Monument, King Fountain. Do not forget to stroll around the narrow alleys of the Barrio de la Villa, particularly when the flowers are in bloom.

Rute (14km)
Well-known for its anís (anise-flavoured liqueur), Rute is a picturesque whitewashed town on a hill overlooked by the delightful mountain range. There are a few museums that are worth visiting such as Anise and Cured Ham. It is also a home to the internationally renowned Donkey Sanctuary ADEBO.

Zuheros (60km)
Zuheros is lying in a gorge backed by masculine rock cliffs.
It is one of the most popular Subbética villages particularly amongst keen hikers and painters, as there are plenty of well-signed footpaths in the beautiful Nature Park.
La Via Verde de la Subbética or Green Way of the Subbética, which is a 58km long path linking Lucena, Cabra, Doña Mencía, Zuheros and Luque, is one of the most stunning routes. The route was once used to transport olive oil by train to other parts of Spain and it has now been lovingly restored for the use of hikers and cyclists. Another popular route is a hike to a cave with Neolithic cave paintings. You may find some of the best Goat cheeses and olive oil of the region in the village square.
