This Free Tour in Priego begins in Marqués de Priego street, at the door of the Castle, there we will discover the evolution of the fortress and its role on the border in front of the kingdom of Granada. We will visit the Church of San Pedro in the vicinity. We go around the castle to get to the Royal Butchers, it is one of the few examples that are preserved in Spain of this type of buildings.

From there we enter the Barrio de la Villa, the most surprising neighborhood of the city, of medieval origin, with its narrow streets of white houses with balconies decorated with flowerpots. From the neighborhood itself we look out onto the Balcón del Adarve, from which we can see beautiful views of the Priego and Subbética orchards. We enter the Paseo de Colombia, where we will see what relationship Joselito "the little nightingale" and Priego had, and we will discover the work "La Defensa de Zaragoza" by the sculptor from Priego Álvarez Cubero.
