It also makes it possible to learn more about olive cultivation. To complete with the visit of the Aceite del Molino Viejo Museum, Calle Vado del Moro, 2 ++34 957 521 771.

A passage through this museum helps to better understand the importance of Cabra and its surroundings throughout history. Created in 1973, he first had his seat in the town hall dependencies. But since 1984, he has occupied the building that was the Banco de España and is now the house of culture. It is accessed through a forged iron door, flanked by four columns of red marble from Cabra. It occupies most of the ground floor, the remains being arranged around the "patio of columnas", thus referred to as the ten columns of red marble that make up this covered patio. Most of the exposed objects come from excavations carried out in two places, Villa del Mitra and Veleña, and are presented in chronological order from Paleolithic to these days.

It is advisable to stop at Fuente del Río before taking a walk to the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park. It is here that the Río Cabra is born and the park begins. A few steps from the waterfall, a chirringuito with a terrace awaits you, with springs, pretty trees, and guaranteed freshness. Afterwards, Cabra can be the starting point for a walk, bike or car ride in this park that covers eight municipalities. Declared a Natural Park in 1988, it was integrated into UNESCO's geoparks network in 2006, due to the karst specificity of the terrain. It is also this entry into this network that led to the abandonment of the operation of the Cabra quarries.
