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.
