Myself and a very good friend went on Motorcycles through most of the Natural Park, absolutely amazing although the roads at times leave a lot to the imagination, especially on a bike when you are several thousands of feet up with very few barriers and then down again, hair pin bends and uneven road surfaces just wide enough for 2 cars passing slowly. However all that said, it was one of the most amazing trips i have been on and the sights are breath taking.

Declared Heritage of Cultural Interest of Andalusia. The monumental group of the Fortress of La Mota is strategically perched on the peak of a rugged hill, 1033 m. above sea level. These features, its structure and location, enabled it to have a panoramic view, like a natural watchtower, over the surrounding area. Its most significant historic moment took place during the Islamic invasion: the Castle of La Mota was ordered to be built by the second Lord of the Kingdom of Granada "Aben-abus Ben-Zeiri", around the year 1000. The old walled city included several religious, administrative and government buildings, as well as commercial centres, and was the home of civil and ecclesiastical authorities. One of the most remarkable buildings is the citadel, built on the highest point of the enclosure, at 1033 metres above sea level. It is comprised of three towers joined by the walls that surround the bailey. The Homage tower, 20 m high, that of the Candle or the Bell, in charge of surveillance of the area in conjunction with the network of watchtowers all over the surrounding land. And lastly, the tower of La Mocha, an excellent lookout point over the city. Within the monumental group of the Fortress of La Mota, there are several themed areas explaining the concept of frontier, the way of life of its inhabitants, the role of the various areas and the relationship of the Fortress with the surrounding areas. Timetable: Autumn/Winter (15 Oct to 31 Mar): 10:00h 17:30h.

Travelling between Granada and Córdoba, our travel agent had arranged for us to visit the ruins and reconstruction of Fortaleza de la Mota a 13th/14th century outpost between the Christian and Morrish kingdoms. Very interesting to see the work on the reconstruction. Make sure you see the film in the cathedral. Recommend that this is worth a visit, not only for the history but the panoramic views.

We hiked 20KM from the start to the lagoon at the top and back down, views all the way along the route are spectacular and there are plenty of places en route to stop and enjoy a swim or paddle in the river, we had our small dog with us and he loved the water stops! During the hike there is a mix of shade and sun so be prepared for the heat. Its our second visit to this route and it wont be our last.. truly memorable and if you like nature and the outdoors you will love this area!

9. Jaen Cathedral

The cathedral is a majestic renaissance building. Its architect, Andrés de Vandelvira, designed a very harmonious cathedral; the best perception of its harmony, it is when you go upstairs, and you look at the cathedral from the upper galleries. To visit the Cathedral, it is necessary to pay 6 euros, including the entry an audio guide. The texts are of high quality, but perhaps too technical, for those who do not master the technical vocabulary, referring to architectural elements. Enjoy!
