Peace and harmony of the elements.

Valdepeñas de Jaén is a charming town nestled between the impressive mountain ranges of the Sierra de la Pandera to the north and the Sierra de Alta Coloma to the southeast. Founded in 1539, the town boasts a typical Renaissance townscape characterized by a checkerboard pattern. It was granted independent city status in 1558. Valdepeñas de Jaén offers numerous attractions, such as the Ermita de Chircales, a small chapel that reflects the region's spiritual history with religious paintings and a hermit's cave. Another highlight is the Molino de Harina, a still-working watermill that offers fascinating insight into traditional flour production. Nature lovers can discover the Chorreras del Río Vadillo, a series of natural waterfalls formed by the Vadillo River and surrounded by trails offering beautiful views. The region is also a paradise for outdoor activities such as cycling. The lush forests and picturesque landscape provide ideal conditions for cyclists exploring the beautiful Sierra Sur. For a culinary experience, head to the hilltop restaurant El Quejigo del Carbón, known not only for its excellent cuisine but also for its breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Valdepeñas de Jaén is the perfect place to combine history, nature, culture, and sporting activities.

Wonder created by nature.

Highest peak in the Sierra Sur.

The Quiebrajano River on its way from the reservoir to the capital of Jaén, guards some spectacular canyons where the water course strives to reach its destination further down.

There at the top are the facilities of an old military base intended for air control but unfortunately, and due to the negligence of the administrations responsible for its custody, it has been looted and destroyed for the most part, but even so this summit has spectacular views and it has also been the end of a stage several times in the Vuelta Ciclista a España.

The Quiebrajano reservoir is located about 25 km from the capital, and is used to store water for human consumption, which is why bathing or the use of boats is not permitted. Currently you cannot access the viewpoint without knowing the reason for such prohibition.
