Cortes de la Frontera, Municipality in Málaga Province, Spain
Located between Alcornocales and Sierra de Grazalema Natural Parks, Cortes de la Frontera extends over 175 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at 633 meters elevation.
The settlement originated as a Phoenician outpost in the 11th century BC, later becoming a Roman town named Cortex before its final capture by Ferdinand III in 1485.
The town's wealth from cork production in the 19th century led to construction of notable buildings, including the 1784 Town Hall and numerous grand mansions.
The municipality maintains walking trails through cork forests, connecting to nearby natural parks and offering opportunities for birdwatching and outdoor activities.
The remains of La Sauceda, mentioned in Cervantes' literature and abandoned after the Spanish Civil War, stand in the western section of the municipality.
