The Los Alcornocales (170,000 hectares) and Sierra de Grazalema (50,000 hectares) Nature Parks converge in the municipality of Cortes de la Frontera, which contains a large part of their extraordinary environmental treasure and affords the visitor a view of scenic surroundings that are absolutely awe-inspiring. The large forests of cork oaks that cover much of this territory continue into the province of Cadiz, but before crossing the border of Malaga they form a number of sites that can, without gratuitous hyperbole, be characterised as paradisiacal.

La Sauceda and the Las Buitreras gorge, adjoining the El Colmenar neighbourhood, are only two examples of the bounty that nature has bestowed upon this municipality. The first site is fully equipped for camping and taking however much time one wishes to enjoy the surroundings, while the latter-Las Buitreras-is more difficult of access but compensates for this with an astonishing spectacle: the channel of the River Guadiaro confined between walls more than 100 metres high.

Monuments:

The Casa Consistorial (Town Hall), Nuestra Senora del Rosario church, Casa de los Valdenebros (Los Valdenebros house), Plaza de Toros (Bullring) and the Casa de Piedra (Stone House).
