Sierra Morena has a strong legendary reputation within Spanish culture and tradition.
 The Nuevas Poblaciones de Andaluca y Sierra Morena administrative division was started in 1767 during the reign of Charles III of Spain in order to populate the mountainous zone
 This range is also mentioned in the famous Mexican song "Cielito Lindo" and in one of the most well known traditional Spanish songs, "Soy Minero", interpreted by Antonio Molina
