Cazorla
The village is situated to the east of the province, within the
Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas National Park, the
largest protected natural space in Spain: an orographic labyrinth
of valleys, calares, gorges, mountains and flat lands of enormous
hydrological importance (due to the numerous rivers and streams
which spring within the Park); of great botanical importance
(different varieties of pine trees and a lot of endemic species);
it is also important aesthetically and from a wildlife point of
view. Because of this it is one of the most visited and frequented
natural spaces in the country.
The village, picturesque and of great tourist interest, lies in the shade of the Peña de los Halcones, with the mountains behind and a immense sea of olive trees before it, offering an impressive and spectacular view. Above the village we can see the Castle of la Yedra, which presides over the narrow streets with their traditional dwellings, palatial houses and monuments among which we must highlight the Castle of the Cinco Esquinas (Five Corners), the Town Hall, the Plaza de Santa María Square, the Church of San. Francisco, Church of San José and the House of the Siete Fuentes (Seven Fountains).
