Sierra de Hornachuelos Natural Park

The Sierra de Hornachuelos Natural Park spans 60,032 hectares of dense Mediterranean forests with cork oaks, holm oaks, and diverse wildlife species.

The natural park received its protected status designation in 1989, marking a significant step in preserving the ecological heritage of southern Spain.

Traditional hunting practices within the park maintain a balance between conservation and local customs, supporting both wildlife management and regional traditions.

Visitors can access the park through four entry points in Almodóvar del Río, Hornachuelos, Posadas, and Villaviciosa de Córdoba municipalities.

The park contains three major reservoirs - Bembézar, Breña, and Retortillo - that attract large populations of great cormorants during winter months.
