Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, UNESCO Global Geopark in Andalusia, Spain.

Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park is a limestone mountain range in the province of Córdoba, southern Spain, shaped by karst processes that carved out deep gorges, cliffs, and cave systems over millions of years. The park also holds UNESCO Global Geopark status and covers a varied landscape of rocky peaks, forested slopes, and river valleys.

The area was declared a protected natural park in 1988, following recognition of its geological and ecological value. It joined the European Geopark Network in 2006 and received full UNESCO Global Geopark status in 2015.

Olive groves cover much of the land around the park and reflect farming traditions that go back many generations in this part of Andalusia. Old oil mills in nearby villages still operate during harvest season, giving visitors a direct sense of how local life is tied to the land.

The park has a visitor centre at Santa Rita, an ecomuseum at the Cueva de los Murciélagos near Zuheros, several viewpoints and nine marked trails. The Vía Verde de la Subbética follows the old Linares–Puente Genil railway for about 57 km through Lucena, Cabra, Doña Mencía and Zuheros. Trails such as the Sendero de la Nava link the Sierra de Cabra with Zuheros across the poljé de La Nava and the río Bailón.

More than 700 caves have been documented across the park, including the Cabra Abyss and the Bats Cave, where prehistoric paintings and archaeological remains have been found. These underground spaces show that people lived in this mountain area long before any of the nearby towns existed.
