The town of Ubrique
spreads along the valley of the Rio Ubrique beneath
the knife-edge crag of the Cruz de Tajo. A part
of the town lies within the boundaries of the
Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park whilst another
part of the town belongs within the Alcornocales
Natural Park.
Several kms outside the town on the road towards
Benaocaz lie the Roman remains of Ocuri,
which
includes substantial remains of dwellings and
has fabulous views over the Sierra towards
Ubrique. The site is currently still being
excavated.
In the 17th century, the first leather factories
were set up, continuing the traditional methods
of crafting leather goods left behind by
the Moslems. Today this industry is the driving
force behind the town’s prosperous
economy and there are many factory shops
selling well known brands of leather goods
at reasonable prices.
