IZNAJAR : Town in the Area of Iznajar, Spain |

|
Introduction : |
||||||
|
In the south of La Subbética, Iznájar is a town of 6000 people nestled on the edge of a reservoir 30km long. At the entrance to the Subbética Natural Park, Iznájar is surrounded by an expanse of water on one side and beautiful countryside on the other. The town is situated on a rocky outcrop above the lake and in its excellent waterfront location, it seems from a distance to be an island peaking out of the water. A bridge has been built over the reservoir at Iznájar to carry traffic heading north to Priego or south to Archidona in the Málaga province. |

|
History: |
||||||
|
The town was settled by the Iberians and later became a Moorish conquest. The Moors built a castle here which was named "Hins Ashar", the name was later corrupted to the present day name of the town. Iznájar was captured by the Christians 60 years before the reconquest of Granada. |

Festivities in Iznájar include Semana Santa (Easter), when the locals play out a religious epic in a theatrical production featuring scenes from the bible. On April 25th, San Marcos is honoured by the inhabitants by a communal picnic that is held in the countryside near the town.
