About this region

Exploring rural Andalusia means delving into its distinct comarcas, each with unique traditions and culinary offerings. The Sierra de Cádiz, for example, is home to Alcalá del Valle, a village known for its megalithic Los Dólmenes de Tomillo, dating back over 5,000 years. The local cuisine features espárragos trigueros, wild asparagus, prepared in various ways. In the Sierra de las Nieves, Ojén offers a different experience. This village is known for its natural caves and the production of Aguardiente de Ojén, an anise liqueur. Moving inland to the Vega de Granada, Fuente Vaqueros holds historical significance as the birthplace of Federico García Lorca; his childhood home is now a museum. The local gastronomy includes remojón granadino, a refreshing salad, and habas con jamón, broad beans with ham. The altitude range across these villages, from the coastal plains to the higher elevations, influences the agricultural practices and the types of produce available. The municipality of Beas de Segura, situated at 600m in the Sierra de Segura comarca, offers visitors a chance to sample the region's renowned extra virgin olive oil and gachamiga serrana, a traditional dish.
