Castillo Zuheros, Pueblos con encanto. / Zuheros Castle, charming villages.

Zuheros es un pequeño pueblo situado al sureste de la provincia de Córdoba; en la comarca de la Subbética Cordobesa. Por su situación, es frontera natural entre el Parque Natural de la Sierra Subbética y la campiña cordobesa. Zuheros is a small town located southeast of the province of Córdoba; in the region of the Subbética Cordobesa. Due to its location, it is a natural border between the Natural Park of the Sierra Subbética and the Cordovan countryside. Zuheros is one of those towns that have managed to maintain the charm of another era through time. Its streets are narrow and winding, with lots of small squares and corners full of traditional flavor. And in the background, between the neat whitewashed hamlet, the mountain range, with its ridges and pits dotted with olive groves. That is why in its day it was declared a Property of Cultural Interest in the modality of Historic-Artistic Complex (2003). Zuheros offers visitors a wide range of possibilities to enjoy with the five senses. Sample of its vast history is the Cave of the Bats, an archaeological site of great importance and beauty, declared a Mixed Natural Monument. The walk through the Cave of the Bats is complemented by a visit to the Ecomuseum (Interpretation Center of the Cave) and the Archaeological Museum of the town, where findings related to the Cave of the Bats and other neighboring sites are collected. In addition to this Museum, there are two others in Zuheros. In the Museum of Customs and Popular Arts Juan Fernández Cruz we find a large number of objects that were a "modus vivendi" for the inhabitants of the town. On the other hand, the Museum-Studio house of the painter Francisco Poyato, located in a typically Andalusian enclosure, houses fundamentally surreal works inside (drawings, painting and sculpture mainly). Strolling through the maze of slopes and adarves that make up its streets we discover Zuheros Castle, which occupies a spectacular position on a huge cliff; and the Church of Remedies, apparently built on the old mosque of the town. The landscapes and surroundings of Zuheros, in the middle of the mountains, are an ideal setting to enjoy nature, crossing the paths of the Bailón River or through the Greenway of the Subbética. In short, Zuheros offers us a multitude of options to enjoy the cultural, natural and ethnographic heritage, all in a unique and exceptional environment that does not leave indifferent; A living paradise
