Iznájar - Spain

Iznájar is a village and municipal area in the province of Córdoba in Andalucia, southern Spain.The village itself is situated on top of a huge rocky outcropping overlooking the Embalse de Iznájar, the largest lake in the whole of Andalucía, which is frequented throughout the warm season as a beach.The principal economic activity of the area is the cultivation of olives although tourism is increasingly becoming an economic factor.Iznájar is a classic "pueblo blanco", or white village and is surrounded by its "Aldeas" - sub villages including La Celada, El Higueral, Solerche to name but three.There are many places to stay, from hotels through to bed & breakfasts to houses or apartments to rent. The whole of the area of Iznájar has a vibrant social life with many fiestas celebrated throughout the year - most notably Semana Santa(Easter), Los Reyes (Three Kings or Twelfth Night) and the Fiesta de la Virgen.
