Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Priego de Córdoba
Priego de Córdoba combines relief, alleys and facades that frame very legible sequences. The place becomes particularly eloquent when you alternate public squares and quieter areas, where the building details give the real meaning of the route.
Place
Zuheros
Zuheros is apprehensive as a site of contrasts, between village centers and landscapes that open the view. A slow progression reveals the cultural strata effortlessly, with simple visual cues that mark the memory of the Subbetic.
Place
Lucena
Lucena mixes Jewish heritage, baroque churches and shopping streets in an active city in the south of Cordoba. The Moral Castle, the patios and the white facades give concrete landmarks, while the surrounding area already announces the more carved reliefs of the Subbetics.
Place
Cabra
Cabra The volumes, perspectives and shadowing of the streets give a concrete experience of the place if one remains enough to observe the transitions from one neighbourhood to another.
