The '''Subbaetic''' or '''Sub-Baetic System''' ({{lang-langx|es|Sistema Subbético}} or ''Cordillera Subbética''<ref>[http://www.chsegura.es/chs/cuenca/infraestructuras/embalses/embalsedelTaibilla/marcoterritorial.html Embalse del Taibilla]</ref>) is one of the three systems of mountain ranges of the [[Baetic System]] in the southern [[Iberian Peninsula]]. Highest point {{convert|2027|m|abbr=on}} high [[Peña de la Cruz]] in [[Sierra Arana]]. Its northern limit includes the valley of the [[Guadalquivir]] in its western part.

==Description==

The Subbaetic System runs to the north of the [[Cordillera Penibética]] from [[Cape Trafalgar]] in [[Cádiz Province]] across Andalusia reaching into the [[Region of Murcia]].<ref>Edited by W Gibbons & T Moreno, ''Geology of Spain'', 2002, {{ISBN |978-1-86239-110-9}}</ref> The highest peaks reach heights between 1,500m and well over 2,000 m.

Towards the east of the [[Sierra Sur de Jaén]], east of [[Martos]], another subsystem begins, the [[Prebaetic System]], an offshoot of the Subbaetic System stretching further northeastwards.<ref>[http://www.sociedadgeologica.es/archivos_pdf/g12triptico_jaen.pdf Las montañas que surgieron del mar: la Sierra Sur de Jaén]</ref> The materials that compose this eastern sector were formed in a relatively shallow sea.<ref>[http://aguas.igme.es/igme/publica/libro103/pdf/lib103/capiII_04.pdf Morfología kárstica del sector oriental del Prebético andaluz]</ref>
