Córdoba
In the provinces of Cordoba and Jaen
we have properties in villages such as Iznajar, Priego de
Cordoba, Puente Genil, Rute all in the Subbetica natural
parkland which is made up of fourteen towns, ranging in
size from the 900 inhabitants of Fuente Tojar to the 40,000
or so in Lucena. As everywhere, some are of more interest
to the house hunter than others, although each and every
one of them have something about them. Iznajar is
probably the best known area with its large lake and potential
for water sports etc.
Cordoba along with Jaen is becoming
more popular now especially with the news that RyanAir are
flying into Granada airport daily and with EasyJet sure
to follow in their wake, this area and the bargain property
for sale in the Subbetica will soon become very desireable.
Only 1 hour 50 mins from Malaga airport, 45 mins from Granada
airport, an hour to the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada
and 1 hour 40 mins to the coast. You really can go skiing
in the morning and be relaxing on the beach in the afternoon!
La Subbética
de Córdoba lies in the very centre of Andalucía,
almost equidistant from its major towns, Córdoba
itself, Granada, Sevilla, Jaen and Málaga. Within
an hour from here you can be in any one of these great cities.
That alone is a pretty good reason
to base a holiday home here. Another is that it just happens
to be incredibly beautiful, a land of rugged hills and deep
valleys, spectacular scenery and a thriving ecology. A vibrant
and vivacious landscape, it is both robust and melodious
at one and the same time.
Some of Andalucía's most delightful
villages are to be found here, steeped in the ancient traditions
and culture of the area, both products of a fascinating
history which dates back to the beginning of mankind. The
people here have been endowed with a wonderful heritage
and it's good to see that they not only cherish it but are
doing their utmost to preserve it.
More than 300 archaeological sites
exist in the Subbética and there are enough museums,
castles, churches and fascinating monuments to satisfy anyone
interested in the history of mankind. Inhabited since the
mists of time, its unique location on the geographic crossroad
between Granada and Córdoba, Sevilla and Málaga
has made this area strongly influential on more than one
civilisation.
