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."

The museum's collection consists of numerous oils, watercolors and drawings, and other collections of modern art. Artists of the prestige of Miró, Percébal or Tapies donated their works for the museum. Rafael Zabaleta was linked to the Paris school. His painting is mainly nourished by the avant-garde, impressing into his landscape an air of metaphysical solitude. Picasso and Modigliani will also be of great influence in their entire career, collecting from the first that robustness in the nudes and the Parisian outdoor scenes. They will be the images of their native land with which the one of Quesada is most easily identified at the end of their career, both for its easy and true drawing and for its bright handling of the color in rural and customary scenes, in accordance with the times it has had to live.

Around the figure of Zabaleta, a prestigious international painting and sculpture competition has been held in Quesada since 1970. The award-winning works complete the museum's collection.

In the first room of the museum, a chapel has been installed with a natural-sized Roman-Byzantine Christ mounted on a cypress wood cross. It is surrounded by a complete collection of twelve anonymous paintings of the 17th century representing the Apostles and a baroque size of Bishop Saint Ambrosio.

In the second room (weapons room) of the Museum of People's Arts and Costumbres of Alto Guadalquivir is decorated with shield-shaped panoplias with various weapons: swords, crosses, axes, alphanxes, etc. It also has two strands and carved arches, as well as furniture from the 16th and 17th centuries.

The third room (noble room), is the one that most structurically stands out for its completion in a Gothic cruise vault and its arches windows pointed with parteluz, also Gothic. It presents three flamenco tapestries of the 17th century, signed by Ian Raes and four bargueños forming together with their corresponding tables of the 18th century.

The visit begins by showing a magnificent press of wooden beam of 15 meters in length and a quintal of 2400 Kg. It is one of the most long beam presses preserved, and is also shown one of the few large copper boilers in Spain intended to heat the water from the charge in the second pressure of the capachos.

In a second room two hydraulic presses are displayed, a blood mill of conical stones, and two systems of continuous extraction of recent installation: one of three phases, of the first brought to Andalusia, and the current of two phases.

Lacquered walls and old wooden windows resist the passage of time miraculously. The gardens, which remain active, are arranged next to the houses alternating with some meadows. On the other side of the Trujala River is the Mount Navalhora and to the far away we see the unmistakable silhouette of the Navalperal.

Through the path PR-A 198 you will enjoy the landscape and you can approach Segura la Vieja, the settlement prior to the current Segura de la Sierra, which has an impressive view of the area.

From the nearby viewpoint you can see this monument, whose origin is surprising. 500 million years ago the whole area was covered by the sea, though with little depth, so it was filled with sands and clays brought by the rivers that were flowing there from the Iberian plateau. It was 300 million years ago that the forces of the land made these lands emerge and since then, the erosion of the river, the rains and the wind have been sculpting the relief, creating beautiful forms like these organs. On these rocks, oaks, alcornoques and shrubs have found their substrate, forming a Mediterranean forest in which they inhabit ginets, chickpeas and numerous rapaces.

These lines correspond to the Treaty of the Mountain, studied by the Duke of Almazan, a document that some researchers attribute to Jorge Manrique. To talk about the 15th century in the Sierra de Segura is to talk about the Manrique family and the border period. A situation in which attacks and responses by Christians and Muslims were frequent. This danger and the border situation can only be seen by entering Segura de la Sierra: remains of walls, towers, entrance doors and on top of the hill, the watchful castle.

The Visits Books of the Order of Santiago described in the late 15th century the castle of Segura de la Sierra as a military compound with weapons to face a siege or, if necessary, to organize a village to attack the enemy. We cannot forget that in 1434 Rodrigo Manrique organized a village to conquer Huécar in the Altiplano granadino.

In Segura de la Sierra, taking advantage of this privileged position and under the security offered by its walls is where Jorge Manrique was raised under the care of his mother, Mrs. Mencía de Figueroa, in the house that still today is preserved five hundred years later.

At 1440 m high is the MONTE ARDAL, which can be accessed by the road that reaches San Bartolomé, to the crossing that is moving to the left. It is a classroom of nature located in a forest shelter, with views of the village, the surrounding mountains,... in addition to the shelter, there is also a recreation area, adapted don barbecues, tables, and covered by a porch.
