La Carolina

La Carolina is a town situated at the feet of the Sierra Morena, just south of Despeñaperros, the mountains that join Castilla-La Mancha with Andalusia.

The landscape is dominated by olive groves, but there are also plenty of pasture lands and areas of low mountains populated by holm oaks and pines.
