Iznájar's location on a small cape surrounded by water makes it a place of great scenic value. The entire town has infinite viewpoints that make us enjoy the views of the Genil River and the reservoir. Passing through Iznájar, it is worth getting lost in its narrow streets and, above all, seeing the Patio de las Comedias, full of blue pots.
