Stage Encinas Reales to Lucena

A stage through the heart of the Subbetic countryside of Cordoba. The 20 km link Encinas Reales with Lucena, the historic capital of the medieval Jewish Eshcol-Aram and today one of the most prosperous towns in the Subbetica of Cordoba. The route crosses seas of olive groves, with the characteristic landscape dotted with white farmhouses and centuries-old olive groves. Lucena stands out for its baroque heritage, its parish church of San Mateo (with the Sagrario Chapel, considered the pinnacle of Andalusian baroque) and its rich gastronomy based on extra virgin olive oil.
