The '''Subbaetic Mountains''' or '''Subbaetic System''' ({{lang-es|Cordillera Subbética}} or ''Sistema Subbético''<ref>[http://www.chsegura.es/chs/cuenca/infraestructuras/embalses/embalsedelTaibilla/marcoterritorial.html Embalse del Taibilla]</ref>) is one of the two main systems of mountain ranges that is part of the [[Baetic System]] in the southern [[Iberian Peninsula]]. It runs to the west and north of the [[Cordillera Penibética]] from the [[Cádiz Province]] (including [[Gibraltar]]) across Andalusia and the [[Region of Murcia]], reaching the [[Mediterranean Sea]] shores in the southern [[Valencian Community]].<ref>Edited by W Gibbons & T Moreno, ''Geology of Spain'', 2002, ISBN 9781862391109</ref> The highest peakes reach heights between 1,500m and well over 2,000 m.

The [[Prebaetic System]] is a subsystem of the Cordillera Subbética. The materials that compose the 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>
