The Los Villares de Córdoba Periurban Park is the first protected natural area of its kind to be created in Andalusia. The traditional influx of the public to the 60-hectare former Forest Park has led to the declaration of the 484 hectares of the "Los Villares Bajos" mountain as a Periurban Park and to the extension of the public use offer, establishing a protection regime with the aim of conserving its values and adapting its use to recreational and educational needs, as well as promoting the approach to nature of the nearby populations.
