It is the main hub of the Los Pedroches Valley and boasts the largest holm oak forest in Europe, where the Iberian pig feeds on the nutritious acorn alongside numerous herds of cattle, all within endless stone enclosures. Villanueva de Córdoba is one of the most important population centers in the region, with a strong tradition in the art of curing Iberian ham and crafting the famous jarotas knives. The tower of the Church of San Miguel rises like a watchtower over Villanueva de Córdoba, a faithful guardian of its great green treasure.

Strolling through Villanueva de Córdoba, you can discover its centuries-old history through its most emblematic buildings, including the parish church of San Miguel, the former Courthouse (now the Town Hall), the Convent of Cristo Rey, the Convent of Las Obreras, the parish of San Sebastián, and the stately homes of the historic center. Here, granite—so abundant in this land—shapes a solid post-and-lintel architecture, giving rise to an aesthetic of remarkable beauty.
