According to the research, it is a necropolis whose extension would surround the entire town, making it one of the most important at the national level.

In 1954, the first archaeological excavation was carried out, 22 tombs of which only 7 remained intact. The inspected tombs had an ovoid and excessively elongated form, not keeping a certain orientation.

Next to this visigoda necropolis - just 30 metres - is another Muslim era.

Location:To the west of the town, in the foothills of the mountain set of the South Sierra.
Distance:7 km.

Medium:Tourism vehicle.

Access route:Taking the road leading to the Hoya del Salobral.

From the Nava del Espino there are roads that lead you to the highest peaks of the Sierra de Cazorla, among which are the Poyos de la Mesa. It is a very recommended route by the views on the Guadalquivir that from this plancie you can reach.

If you stop your way in this place you can enjoy the landscape and if you are at the right time it will be easy to see some go feeding on their meadows.

About 2 km from the Navy following the track you brought, and on the left there is a recreational area next to the Fountain of the Garganta. An ideal place to rest and restore strength.

In Cazorla take the Sierra road (A-319) until the crossing known as the Empalme del Valle. Turn right on the JF-7092 road and after passing the bridge over the Guadalquivir River (4 km from the Empalme) follow the left track (JF-7091). In the km 21 of the road signs is the Nava del Espino.

The birth of the Segura River is a penetrable siphon, with an explored length of 354 meters and a 17 meters gap. The exploration of this cavity was carried out by spelebuchers of the Madrid Standard Group during the 1979 and 1980 years, carrying out an important work of disobstruction within the siphon. (G.E. STANDARD, 1980) The emergence is located at the bottom of a blind valley in the foothills of the Sierra de Segura near the population of Pontones. It is a flooded gallery where three air bubbles are located at about 100, 160 and 255 m from the mouth.

Natural area of great beauty of water and tiled wires that invite to relax, turned into a recreational area, magnificent enclave to spend a pleasant day of countryside surrounded by nature, enjoy the environment, rest under the dense tree grove or take some hiking route. The space has a magnificent road with banks, tables, stationery, a small bar, children's playground and a large parking lot. This area attracts thousands of visitors from many municipalities, some very far away.

From the same pozas of the Nacimiento, a channel known by the neighbors by "el Caz," that allows to water the orchards of the river along several kilometres, and that rejoins the river in the village, next to the Roman bridge of Triana, where the permits for the fishing stop "El Carrizal," whose upper section is the same Birth of the San Juan River, were issued. The nearest pool to the river was used for the release of trout and fishing for both people with reduced mobility and children, learning the values and techniques needed to manage themselves within this sport and get their own catches (there is a children's fishing school in the town in the summer, taking advantage of school holidays).

The fishing ground was about 4 km. where roads have been enabled, making many parts of the banks practicable and facilitating the formation of pokes, where fish can find better shelter and more water.

Fishing could also be practiced in the Valdepeñas Bridge, where one of the most remarkable pozas of the fishing ground is formed, both by the number of trout and by the quality of the trout. The environment of Nacimiento del Río San Juan is characterized by a typical Mediterranean landscape, with the oak and the coscoja as protagonists. Other plants present are the lentif, the white jara, the thyme and the rosemary, but, without a doubt, the white lamo is the most abundant species in the Birth and on the river bank. In this we can see fertile gardens that make up the "Vega castillera," which acquires its maximum splendor in spring with the flowering of the cherry trees, very abundant in the area, irrigated from the very pods of the birth by "the Caz" mentioned above.

This area, owned by the City Council, houses a multitude of outdoor physical activities.

It is one of the most cuddly and important springs in Sierra Magina, being the pride of the shrubs. Although water sprouts through limestone rocks and liasic dolomies of an aquifer, it has a marked saline character because it arises in the breast of margas with triasic plaster.

The waters of the birth are collected in an artificial construction raft that stores them and leads by a system of waterfalls that runs throughout the village.

Next to the birth is one of the four power plants that used the waters of the river for the production of electricity.
This beautiful area is conditioned with a meringero area that allows visitors to enjoy a picnic in a unique natural environment.

The river course is channeled in a multitude of waterfalls that give wealth to the land of the municipality and irrigate many hectares of land. Previously it gave impetus to flour and oil mills, while it is currently used for the irrigation of the olive tree, true economic engine of the area.

The space has a magnificent road with barbecues, banks, tables, stationery, a small bar and children's playground, where you can spend a pleasant day surrounded by nature and where you can take advantage of the freshness of the place and the shadows of the trees.

In the birth of the Arbuniel you can see ducks and river crabs, which inhabit in its channel thanks to the great amount of lime of its waters, and abundant trout.

The "official" birth of the Guadalquivir River has been placed under a plaque that reproduces a poem by the brothers Alvarez Quintero. But, in the strict sense, the sources of Guadalquivir are found in the spacious honnada of the Cañada de las Fuentes. In this place there are several streams that come down from the nearby mountains: that of the Teatines, that of the Cold John or the stream of Light among others.

The place has overcome moments of intense tourist pressure and today, with a more appropriate public use order, we are presented with clean and sensitive, so our visit must be at all times silent and respectful.

From the Cañada de las Fuentes you are a step away from enjoying some of the most striking routes in the area.

We suggest...

• Up to the peak of Cabañas, at whose foot is a forest track in acceptable condition, about 10 km. Following the track that goes to Pozo Alcón from the birth we arrive, after 2.5 km, to the pine of the three crosses. Here begins the track that goes up to this proud viewpoint of the Sierra del Pozo.

• Walk by the Cañada de la Fuente. About a mile from the forest house of the same name, a road to the right begins surrounded by majuelos and maples, with some of the largest specimens of pine larice of the Park. On the way it is easy to observe we, even muflons in the lapiaz on the right, as well as millennia tejos

• Continue two kilometers along the track that goes up to Pozo Alcón and, 300 meters before the pine of the three crosses, take the left road to the Prados de Navahondona.

From Cazorla you can reach the Sierra road, A319. In the Empalme del Valle we will see an indication of the birth to the right, and follow that direction for 4 km until you find a bridge over the Guadalquivir. As we pass the bridge we turn right to the Bridge of Herrerías. From here, without leaving the main road, there are 11 km to the Birth.

This is a set of karmic developments, among which is the one located on a vertical wall of a river cannon excavated in jurassic limestone. The latter is the one historically considered "the birth of the Guadalquivir River." However the river is fed by all the streams and births that are located somewhat above in the so-called "Cañada de las Fuentes."
