In this first phase, the entire infrastructure of supply, sanitation and public lighting is being changed. This performance will continue in a second phase in which all the urban furniture will be completed, consisting of banks running around the alcorques and the children's playground, as well as the covering of the fountain and the decorative lighting of the whole.

The Sierra de Andújar Natural Park has a varied morphology and altitude. The most extensive natural vegetation spots in Sierra Morena are observed in this environment, with the oaks, the complaints and the alcornoques being the predominant species.
In Sierra Quintana, Atlantic obledals are located. In addition, valuable species of fauna, such as the lince or the royal eagle, find in the Sierras de Andújar one of its few shelters within the Iberian Peninsula.
Livestock is of some importance in the local economy, with extensive dehesas dedicated to the raising of ligia bulls or to the exploitation of deer, gores, lambs, muflons and boars. Thus, hunting sport is a major economic resource in the famous public and private areas of the Park.
It is not difficult to see in the sky of the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park the spectacular flights of the royal, perdicular and imperial eagles, the last one on the Iberian Peninsula and which has in this area one of its last shelters. Three carrion species can also be observed: the leonate vulture, the black and the alenoche.
Of tourist interest are the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head, where each year by May is celebrated the oldest Romeria in Spain, the Jandula and Encinarejo reservoirs, the Cercado del Ciprés Environmental Complex, which has a botanical garden and a Nature Hall, among other facilities, or the Mirador del Peregrino.

The different meanders formed by the Guadalquivir in its way through Villanueva de la Reina allow an exuberant vegetation with tree species, among which are willows, alms, chopos, zarzas and eucalyptos. Among the fauna, it is common to find real anades, storks, leper galapagos, real garzas, American red crabs, viperine creams, the fishing martin, beehive or nightingale.
