GUIDED TOUR. A WALK AROUND MONTILLA:
The main entrance to Montilla
starts at the crossroad called Los Cuatro Caminos (Four Ways)
where the road from Montilla to Montalban and the avenues known
as Córdoba, Málaga and Andalucía meet.
This
last one, Avenida de Andalucía, passes Pérez Barquero,
one of the most important wine cellars in Montilla. Further
along we find the renewed Mercedes park, decorated with various
sculptures among which the sculpture of the Gran Capitan stands
out. Born in the city Don Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba
on the 16th March 1453. The sculpture is by Ruiz Olmos.
Near
the crossroads we also find the bodegas (wine cellars) of Alvear,
the most prestigious and important in the province, founded in
1729.
