Iznajar
Just over one hour's drive from Cordoba, Granada and Malaga cities lies the village of Iznajar, the most southerly village of the Sierra Subbetica mountain range, last known home to the Iberian Lynx.
Iznajar is an extremely popular tourist village due to it being on the edge of the Embalse de Iznajar - a 999,000 hectolitre manmade lake that permits fishing and water sports including sailing and kayaking throughout the year.
The village is worth visiting all year round, although has special Fiestas including Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week) and around 7th-9th of September there are huge processions in honour of the Virgin of Piety. More than 250,000 people come to witness this incredibly moving event.
There are many places to stay from Luxury B&Bs to Self Catering Holiday Houses to Hotels, Hostels and Pensions.
