Zagrilla Alta. Natural Park of Sierras Subbéticas.

Reasons to visit

The origin of this village in the municipality of Priego de Córdoba can be traced back to the 10th century, to a farmhouse or Arab village located in this area.

Less than an hour and a half from Cordoba, Granada and the city of Malaga, Zagrilla Alta belongs to the municipality of Priego de Cordoba, and is located in the region of the Subbetica Cordobesa.

The splendour of the region and the landscape of Andalusian olive trees create the ideal place to enjoy a holiday of rest, sun and nature.

Among other specific attractions, Zagrilla Alta has an inexhaustible spring of crystalline water that springs from the rock giving its name to the river Zagrilla, flanked by a public washing place still in use, where the local people wash in a traditional way, preserving a social rite in danger of extinction. Its streets border the mountain range irregularly, following the Arabic construction model (white village with whitewashed facades, nooks and crannies, discreet exteriors, floral exuberance in the interior courtyards).
