So much to see and do - close to mountains, lake, history and culture

Cortijo La Presa enjoys a privileged and peaceful location in the Sierras Subbeticas Natural Park, yet still conveniently close to the towns of Iznajar, Priego de Cordoba and Rute, and just a couple of kms from the village of Las Lagunillas.

We also have a seasonal outdoor pool, sun terraces, guest barbecues and a children's play area.

Hiking/biking trails lead directly from the Cortijo and offer everything from a gentle stroll along the river to a thrilling high-speed mountain bike descent.

Staff at Cortijo La Presa can provide information about the area, local attractions and organise hiking guides for you.
