South of Cordoba, the N331 threads its way through the undulating fields known as La Campiña, dominated by vineyards and vast olive groves.

Surrounded by vineyards, Montilla is famous for its excellent wine of the same name; visit one of its bodegas to try it for yourself. Ten kilometres south of Montilla is Aguilar de la Frontera, worth a stop to see its unusual octagonal square. Southwest of Aguilar is the protected Laguna de Zóñar Natural Reserve, the most important lake for birds in Cordoba. It is most impressive in winter, when hundreds of ducks flock here. Also south of Aguilar, on the road to Moriles, is another protected lake, the Laguna del Rincón Natural Reserve, with similar birds to the Laguna de Zóñar as well as the occasional flamingo.
