Among the points of interest in Priego, it is worth highlighting: the church of San Nicolás de Bari, which reigns over the urban area, Calle Larga and Plaza de los Condes, the town hall and the Torreón de Despeñaperros (the only vestige of the fortress remaining Arab in the village).

A beautiful place for all nature lovers. It is a canyon that we can cross by road, one of the most picturesque in Spain. Enjoying the views do not forget to be careful going through the curves next to the rock walls of up to 400 m. Luckily there is little traffic.
