Location:
Cazorla is a dream mountain getaway. This charming town brims with traditional local architecture, steep streets, charming grand houses, and historical monuments. The beautiful surrounding landscape of olive trees makes it one of the leading producers of olive oil in the region, and the fruit appears in many of its spectacular dishes, which visitors love to devour.
Yedra Castle is the focal point of the town centre, and it's also home to the Upper Guadalquivir Popular Arts and Traditions Museum. True to its historical significance, The town hall is located in a Renaissance-style building called 'Padres Mercedarios', a convent dating from the 1500s and is one of many buildings that makes up the historic aesthetic of the town. Another former convent, San Juan de la Penitenciaria, is now a youth hostel and boasts the same architectural style. The town boasts a number of public and historic spaces such as Las Cadenas and La Vicaria palaces, Plaza de Santa Maria and the churches of San Jose, San Francisco and El Carmen, which visitors should make a priority to visit.
If you happen to visit Cazorla in July, you must check out the Blues Cazorla festival that is held in the town every year. This three-day festival is packed full of Blues musicians and can't be missed if you're near the area. The town is packed with visitors and music lovers, enjoying the various stages and acts, of which over 60% are free to enter!
Another reason visitors from all over the world are drawn here is its location in the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Nature Reserve, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Visitors can explore the park using several routes, the most popular of which are on foot, on bicycle or in 4x4 vehicles.
Just over an hour's drive away is Jaen, a place of cultural and historical importance for Spain. Its natural landscapes house significant architecture and monuments in its villages and cities and keep its rich history alive. There are several suggested itineraries for exploring, and a popular one is the Renaissance Route which covers the towns of Úbeda and Baeza in the La Loma area. Because of their important Renaissance legacy, both cities have been declared historical and artistic sites. An Arab fortress that stands atop the Santa Catalina ridge dominates the oldest part of Jaen and gives some of the best views of the city and the Guadalquivir valley. There's also Santa Catalina castle which is home to an interesting Visitor Centre with information about its history.
