The works of design and planning of conservation actions and enhancement of geodiversity in the province of Córdoba has been completed with the drafting of three works projects that involve the intervention in eight localities of geological interest.

The projects are framed in the context of the Program of Actions on Geological Resources of Andalusia, a regional initiative which aims: firstly to provide a system of interpretation of geological heritage in the Andalusia area and, secondly, to undertake conservation measures, protection and environmental improvement of the most representative landmarks of the geology of Andalusia.

The criteria for the selection of the locations and the layout of the actions were chosen by the regional Ministry of Environment, the Provincial Delegation of Environment and the Management of Sierras Subbéticas Geopark.

The construction work raises the implementation of interpretation infrastructures and equipment in five geological resources of Sierras Subbéticas Geopark: The La Nava polje, Los Lanchares Karren, El Picacho de Cabra, la Fuente del Rio Spring and the grabben of Santa Rita. It is also planned the intervention in three localities of the province: the Baths of Popea and the Loma de los Escalones, near the city of Cordoba and the Incised Meander of Guadalquivir River in its passage through the municipality of Montoro.

The Program of Actions on Geological Resources of Andalusia has been completed in the province of Granada, and it’s near the end in the province of Cadiz. In Jaen are currently in the stage of design work and writing projects, while in Almeria, Huelva and Seville are in the phase of evaluation and preparation studies.
