Although Villarrodrigo does not belong to the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and the villas, its municipal term is in the same foothills of the park, and has a variety and a landscape wealth that we want to highlight:

• Via Verde Sierra de Segura.The route of the old Baeza Railway - Use its steps in the province of Jaén in the region of the Sierra de Segura. Camino de la provincia de Albacete is developed in a landscape of lomas and hills dominated by the olive grove. And one of its sections goes through the natural park Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.

The best option to know the fauna and vegetation of this town is to travel some of the many paths that exist in the term. One of the most representative would be the path from Siles to Villarrodrigo, which links these two localities and can be taken on foot.

It is characteristic of a varied landscape of low and half mountain, between olive groves and pineapples of carrasco and black pine, with abundant Mediterranean sotoforested, splashed with beautiful walnuts, complaints and pineapples.

We can also observe well-preserved river vegetation.

We highlight the Recreative area of the Bear Dehesa, with fountains and large walnuts, from where you can start the rise to Cambrón by a signposted path.

The Bayona Recreative Area is also close, where we can take a bath in the summer.

Between the Dehesa del Oso and Villarrodrigo, there are two sections from which we can enjoy a wide view of the Natural Park and where the summits of the Banners, the Lies, The Spot and Yelmoand the albaceteñas Alcaraz saws and Calar of the World.

In the vicinity of Villarrodrigo you can see the last eastern foothills of Sierra Morena and the transition landscape formed by dehesas.

The corvids are abundant, like the lard and the corneja, as well as the boar. In the area of the Cambrón there is a colony of leonate vultures.

Villanueva del Archbishop is one of the four villas that, together with Villacarillo, Iznatoraf and Sorihuela del Guadalimarthey make up the region called Las Villas.

A town where there are many sites of extraordinary environmental and landscape value that are the gateway to the fascinating Sierra de las Cuatro Villas.

By its municipal term the rivers run Guadalquivir and Guadalimarwhich add beauty to the landscape, wealth to both vegetation and fauna. Surrounded by a sea of olive trees and cereal fields, part of its territory is included in the Natural Park of the Serras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.

It is one of the localities where the vegetation has a greater variety, along with the species of the Alta mountain, such as the laricio pine or the acebo, coexist with other species that develop at a lower height, such as the black pine, the tejo or the boj and with those that develop in the lower area: melojo oak, the oak, the oak, the cucumber, olive trees, and other endemic and aromatic plants.

To this vegetation we will add the one that develops on the banks of the rivers: chopos, willows, mumberas, tarais...

The fauna, in line with the plant variety and the many habitats in the term, is also abundant and diverse.

To the raptures and scavengers of the mountains, eagles, broken bones, lethonated vultures, are joined the species, both of major hunting, deer, maflon, boar; as of minor hunting, rabbit, hare, parrots, gits, badges, kernels...

Without forgetting the typical birds of the olive tree, which either live in it, or feed on the migratory movements: curuca, verderon, zorzal, petirroja... Nor fail to mention the fauna of the rivers of crystal waters in their high courses: trout, barbo, nutrites, salamandra... Just like reptiles and amphibians.

A privileged world where Nature is the main attraction of these lands. Nothing better than to discover it in one of the many places in municipal terms, we will point out two recreational areas and have good accessibility:

• The Charco of the Pringue or Charco of the oil. Located about 20 km. of the city centre, is a recreational area that has a water remnant in the same river Guadalquivir. It has a wall and a gate, which allows to empty it completely. The water outlet is a roundabout, which in addition to continuously renewing the water from the remnant, serves to allow us to pass from one side to the other of the river. The name so curious, is because they tell that a donkey loaded with pear of oil precipitated from the narrow upper path and fell into the remnant, stained with oil water.

• Cueva del Peinero. It is one of the most abrupt and steep places in the park. Its natural exit is the impressive throat where the river runs Avocados Grande, cThe crystal clear waters descend into successive waterfalls. On the contrary, in the recreational area, the river is sorely and silently spread between the thick vegetation of willows, chopos and nozzles. The huge lanterns that close the site rise more than 600 meters, forming scalated poyos covered with fully virgin vegetation by the difficult access. It tells the tradition that this cave was inhabited in the summer by a craftsman who was dedicated to making boj wood utensils, very abundant material in the area, and among other objects, made hair combs.

The municipal term of Villanueva de la Reina is an elongated strip that occupies the middle region of the Guadalquivir River, and in it we can distinguish the following areas:

• In the north From the term, the landscape is mountainous. This area belongs to the Natural Park of the Sierra de Andújar. A half mountain area with a varied morphology and altitude. It has a rich and varied fauna in which the Iberian lince stands out. The vegetation of this area is made up of: oaks, alcornoques, pines, oaks, cornicabres and bushes such as rosemary and thyme. In his fauna We find: deer, we go, lynches, boars, imperial eagle, black vulture and the leonate vulture.

• Area of the countryside, in which the cultivation of the olive tree predominates, which also serves as a shelter and sustenance for species that live in this ecosystem: insect birds, parrots, codornices, clumsy pigeon... and mammals such as rabbit, hare, fox or badger.

• In the central area, the quiet course of the Guadalquivir River determines the Vega, where fertile land is dedicated to the cultivation of orchards and fruit trees. The cultivation of asparagus is of great importance. The forest called gallery, which grows next to the river's riverside is the predominant vegetation, and is made up of chopos, allies, strawberries, mimberas, willows... With a fauna characteristic of this place: storks, storks, tents, trout, salamanders, frogs... as well as the fauna of these areas.

• To hisr, it's a dry area, where cereals are especially grown.

A territory with areas of different characteristics and that each of them provides the vegetation and fauna that characterizes it, and that makes Villanueva de la Reina a municipality with a privileged natural wealth.

A place very visited by the neighbors of Villanueva de la Reina is, The Battle. It is located next to the Guadalquivir River and is a recreational area that is populated by a lot of eucalyptus, fountains, children's playground, ideal for spending the day with the family.

Here it is preserved a Batan, machine that was composed of thick wooden mocks moved by a shaft to hit, unfat and sharpen the cloth.

In this place is celebrated the Romeria of Santa Potencio.
