What to Know About Cárcheles

Key Facts

Cárcheles is a municipality located in the province of Jaén within the autonomous community of Andalucía, Spain. Situated in the northern part of the Sierra Mágina natural park, this municipality occupies a strategic position in southeastern Jaén province, approximately 50 kilometers from the provincial capital. Cárcheles was formed in 1975 through the merger of two previously separate municipalities - Cárchel and Carchelejo - creating a unified administrative entity that maintains the cultural heritage of both original settlements. The municipality covers an area of approximately 43 square kilometers and has a population of around 1,300 residents, with the population distributed between the two main population centers that give the municipality its compound name. Cárcheles is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 600 to over 1,400 meters above sea level, and its economy traditionally centered around olive cultivation, particularly the prized Picual olive variety that dominates the region's agricultural landscape. The municipality is divided into these two main population centers, each maintaining its distinct identity while functioning as part of the unified municipal administration.
