Luque Municipality

A town that is part of the subbética region, to the northeast of it and the border between the province of Cordoba and the province of Jaén. Its territory, in addition to being a reflection of the limestone nature of its materials, has two “awards” from the point of view of conservation, since it brings together two figures from the Network of Protected Natural Areas of Andalusia, thus forming part of the Natural Park of the Sierras Subbéticas and also housing the peculiar Natural Reserve of the Laguna del Salobral or del Conde, the largest of all the lagoons in the South of Córdoba. With its 139.6 km2, the term Luqueño alternates an agricultural landscape fundamentally olive growing with important enclaves of these mountains that are worthy examples of the ecosystem that once prevailed in them, such as the Sierra de la Lastra, which houses one of the colonies of griffon vultures of the existing in Córdoba as well as a set of holm oaks of the largest size at the provincial level.
