Collado de los Jardines is an archaeological and natural site located in Santa Elena, in the province of Jaén. This place is known for its historical and cultural significance, especially for the Iberian votive offerings found in the Cueva de los Muñecos (Cave of the Dolls). These votive offerings are small bronze figures that the ancient Iberians offered to their gods as part of their religious rituals. Collado de los Jardines is located in the Despeñaperros Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty that offers various hiking trails and opportunities to observe the local fauna and flora.

The Mirador de la Estación de Santa Elena in the Sierra Morena is a spectacular spot to enjoy panoramic views of the region. This viewpoint offers stunning views of the mountainous landscapes and vegetation typical of the Sierra Morena. It is a popular destination for nature and hiking lovers, providing a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

Miranda del Rey is a small town near Santa Elena and is the “gate” of the old route through the Despeñaperros pass. It contains a public fountain to refill water.

At one of the last elevations of Sierra Morena we find this town of Aldeaquemada, where all of its valleys and mountains head south towards the great plain of the Río Guadalquivir. In the middle of the center we find its square, cobbled and square where we find the town hall and its church.

Typical mountain landscape that gives off many aromas and colors worth savoring and observing. A little further on, on the right, a road of Roman origin begins upriver that crosses all of Despeñaperros.

Port with spectacular scenery.

The bridge is located over the Guarrizas River and the famous Vía Augusta passed over it, which stretches from Rome to Cádiz. Currently there is no trace of a Roman road but you can get an idea of the magnitude of the work of the time.

Incredible views over the geological mountain gorge that joins La Mancha and Andalusia within the Desfiladero de Despeñaperros Natural Park. Going down the Despeñaperros river is fun, but save energy for the climb.
