Ubrique is located in a transition zone between the northern sierras and the Campo de Gibraltar, with a relief dominated by mountains, sierras and dehesas. Part of its territory forms part of the Natural Parks of Los Alcornocales and Sierra de Grazalema. The origins of the urban area date back to the Christian reconquest, although it was previously home to an important Roman city. Ubrique lies in a valley at the foot of the sierra, characterised by the typical architecture of the white villages. Highlights include the Roman Ruins and the Church of San Antonio. In addition, Ubrique is renowned for the manufacture of leather goods.
