Cazorla is located high up in the Sierra de Cazorla
on the edge of the National Park, Spain's largest protected area.
Cazorla is around 50 miles east of Jaen in central Andalucia.
The attractive and historic town of
Cazorla opens the gateway to the mountains of the Sierra
de Cazorla. Backed by sheer jagged peaks and pine forest, the
town of Cazorla is dramatic with houses rising up protected by
the castle. The castle is worth visiting, as are the churches
of Carmen and Santa Maria and the monasteries of San Juan de
la Penitencia and Montesion. The National Park of Cazorla gives
the opportunity for hunting, fishing, walking, riding horses,
cross country driving or mountain biking through forests in which
deer, wild boar and ibex roam.
