The austere Sierra Morena runs across northern Andalucía. This route through Córdoba province takes in a region of oak- and pine-clad hills, where hunters stalk deer and boar. It also includes the open plain of Valle de los Pedroches, where storks make their nests on church towers. The area, little visited by tourists, is sparsely populated. Its individual character is more sober than the usual image of Andalucía and it makes a delightful excursion on a day out from Córdoba.
