Andújar

Andújar extends along the right bank of the Guadalquivir River, with the Natural Park of Sierra de Andújar in the north and agricultural fields in the south.

The settlement traces back to Paleolithic times, with Acheulean culture artifacts discovered in the area and later development by the Iberian Oretani people who established Isturgi.

The Pilgrimage of the Virgen de la Cabeza, celebrated on the last Sunday of April, brings numerous participants to the sanctuary situated on a hilltop.

The municipal tourist office operates from Torre del Reloj at Plaza de Santa María, providing visitor information and assistance through telephone number +34 953 504 959.

The region gained recognition for producing alcarrazas, special whitish clay water containers that maintain water temperature cool during hot weather conditions.
