Routes of Andalusia's Landscapes
Route of Central Sierra Morena
CORDOVA
AND SEVILLE
ITINERARY: Posadas - Hornachuelos - San Calixto - Las Navas
- Constantina - Cerro del Hierro - San Nicolás del
Puerto - Alanís - Guadalcanal - Cazalla de la Sierra.
These areas, like the rest of Sierra Morena, are characterized
by their striking relief rather that by their altitude. Here
we are moving through relatively sparsely populated areas,
the most part given over to the reforestation with pines and
eucalyptus trees, stock farms on holm and cork oak pasturelands
and hunting preserves. The fisrt stretch up to Las Navas passes
through the Hornachuelos mountains, with the River Bembezar
and other rivers and reservoirs such as those of the Bembezar
and the Reortillo, with abundant riparian vegetation, willows
and ashtrees. The woods, sometimes extremly dense, are made
up of holm and gall oaks and stone pines. Deer and wild boars
abound alongside other endagered mammal species, such as the
linx. The bird life is equally abundant with golden and imperial
eagles, and different types of vultures.
Leaving Las Navas, the scenery is that of extraordinary holm
and cork oak pasturelands which are part of the Sierra Norte
Nature Park. Certain spots are worth to mention such as the
source of the River Riberia del Huéznar in San Nicolás
del Puerto which boasts a forest tunnel, and the old mines
of Cerro del Hierro.
