The Cerezuelo River passes majestically beneath the Plaza Vieja de Cazorla itself. In this first section, the closest to the town, it gives you a magnificent environment that makes you think that you are far from civilization.

La Yedra Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Yedra Castle, located high above Cazorla (Jaén), is a historical and cultural gem that dominates the landscape of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas Natural Park.
It was built exclusively for military purposes, not as a stately residence.
It was conquered by Ferdinand III in 1232, who adapted it to a Christian style.

Ruins of the Church of Santa María

Highlight • Historical Site

It is one of the most representative monuments of the city of Cazorla called the Church of Santa María, whose ruins are usually compared as a symbol of Cazorla because, according to historians, it was never completely finished.

Just below this church, today dedicated to cultural activities such as concerts, plays, etc., the Cerezuelo River passes through the construction of very old galleries open to the public to be visited with the company of a guide.

Cazorla

Highlight • Settlement

Cazorla is a town with a great history and culture. It is perfect to rest after a long route and visit the ruins of the church of Santa María, the vault of the Cerezuelo river and the Yedra castle.

If you like blues, don't miss Bluescazorla, a festival that takes place at the beginning of July and is one of the most cutting-edge in Spain.

Don't leave Cazorla without trying typical dishes such as gachamiga, andrajos, rin ran or ajoarina.
