Great birdlife - eagles of many species, griffon and black vultures, flycatchers, bee-eaters etc. saw hundreds of red and many fallow deer, a few wild boar but no lynx. The area is scenic but access is limited and you have to stick to roads and one or two tracks by dams. Most of the area owned by hunting estates or farms raising fighting bulls, so you cannot walk in the countryside, only view from the roadside. Contrary to some nature guides on the internet, there seem to be no wolves left in the region, according to local experts.

The Virgin de la Cabeza is extremely important in this part of Spain and this is her sanctuary, a place visited by many pilgrims. You approach through the natural park of Andujar, a winding road through stunning scenery, where lynx can be found if you are lucky!
The sanctuary itself is situated at the top of a hill, and features a church, with the actual chapel housing the Virgin behind. There is a stone causeway leading from the village, up the hill to the sanctuary, with a huge art deco statue on the side of the hill.
The village itself comprises a few bars and restaurants, but mostly features accommodation for the various religious brotherhood who come here for a few days in April each year when the Virgin is brought from the sanctuary and carried through the village. This is truly an amazing sight but not for the faint-hearted! Thankfully the sanctuary is calm for the remaining 51 weeks of the year and is a very special place to visit even if you are not particularly religious. Highly recommended.

We stayed in La Caracola, in the heart of the Andújar natural park - and went out for the day with José Luis Sanchez. José is very calm, quiet and expert at spotting the birds and animals in this wonderful part of Spain. The highlight was watching a male Iberian lynx for an hour - as he watched our spaniel - would she make a good dinner? But as well we saw eagles, bats, deer, a wide range of birds - and the most beautiful fighting bulls in their prime, saved from the bullring. José Luis is so knowledgeable - we would not have seen a tenth of what he pointed out to us - and would definitely have missed the lynx - so well camouflaged...... One of our best days ever....

La Chiesa è nata gotica ma si nota poco in mezzo ai rifacimenti rinascimentali. Facciata molto semplice e lineare ma all’interno, oltre al retablo, ci sono delle belle cappelle chiuse da antiche inferriate. In una c’è un’opera del Greco.

Someone has managed to squeeze in lots of information in a small space without making it feel cramped. Tons of resources at hand and a very helpful and friendly staff.
During a first visit, the place was overtaken by a school group and actually closed to the public. That didn't stop the staff from letting us have a sneak peek and gracefully answering many questions. Muchas Gracias, Lola!

Iglesia de origen gótico, destaca un artesonado magníficamente decorado. En el exterior sobresale su torre, de cuerpo superior de campanas ochavado sobre otros de base cuadrada y sus portadas, una de ellas plateresca, de 1530, con tres hornacinas con tejadillo y rosetón superior.

Torre almenada, construida con hileras de piedra y ladrillo. Del reloj sólo persiste su esfera labrada. Era un edificio anexo a la cárcel real, con la que estaba comunicada. De alrededores del s. XVII. Mirador en su parte superior.

A las afueras de Andujar es un lugar donde va mucha gente a pasearlo a pie y en bici. El recorrido es cómodo y entre ecosistemas propios de la zona, aunque creo que está algo descuidado.
Es un punto de información del Parque Natural Sierra de Andújar, pero creo que poca gente realmente lo utiliza para ello a no ser que ex profeso te dirijas allí para ello pues no está muy cerca de la carretera que sube al Santuario y tampoco hay señalización. Además, si alguien lo utiliza para informarse sobre la Sierra es gente local.
De vez en cuando hacen actividades infantiles, relacionadas con la naturaleza, que son muy interesantes.
Muy recomendable, pero necesita más difusión y mimo.

Las guias de turismo que nos hablan de Andujar lo hacen fundamentalmente sobre la Sierra, el Santuario, la Virgen de la Cabeza y los parajes por donde deambulan los animales:ciervos, gamos, jinetas, jabalíes y, sobre todos ellos, el lince.
Nos olvidamos de la ciudad y de los numerosos monumentos que se ubican en su casco antiguo.
Para empezar, hay que hacer una visita al puente romano y a los restos de la muralla arabe; el Palacio de los niños de Don Gómez; la Casa Consistorial, edificio que recibio a los ejercitos de Francia y España para estampar la derrota sufrida por los franceses en la batalla de Bailen; las Iglesias de San Bartolome, San Miguel y Santa María, con la "Oración del Huerto" de El Greco; la plaza de Santa Maria con la almenada Torre del Reloj y la Casa de la Cultura, y algunos otros rincones de la zona vieja, que te indicaran en la Oficina de Turismo Local (Torre del Reloj).
Este paseo, de dos a tres horas de duración, nos haran vivir otros tiempos de la historia, donde las prisas y el estrés no eran motivo de conversación entre los habitantes de la judería (mercaderes, artesanos, escribientes, plateros, ceramistas y otros profesionales) pues las callejas estrechas y sus reputados bares aconsejan y estimulan la conversación y fraternidad.
Una vez realizado el itinerario aconsejado es hora de subir a Sierra Morena.
