Cazorla means relaxation surrounded by majestic nature. Stroll through historic streets, discover the surrounding countryside and the many virtues of olive oil.

Cazorla, in the province of Jaén, is the biggest town in the Alto Guadalquivir region. Located near the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas Nature Park, which was named part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1983, Cazorla is the perfect place to spend a few days of relaxation, leisure time and adventure. Enjoy a holiday in Cazorla and start your journey by making your way through olive trees to reach the beautiful historic centre of the town. The landscape is dominated by the majesty and ancient beauty of the Castillo de la Yedra, built on the remains of a Moorish castle, the Fortaleza de las Cinco Esquinas, a fort with five corners built on the top of the Cerro de Salvatierra hill, and the ruins of the Iglesia de Santa María, a church dating back to the 16th century.

If you choose a package holiday in Cazorla, you can continue your cultural journey and visit the neighbouring towns of Úbeda and Baeza, both cities that are authentic jewels of Renaissance architecture and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Spend a little time exploring local roads and visit towns such as Peal de Becerro and Quesada, amongst a landscape of pines and olive trees near the source of the River Guadalquivir.

Treat yourself to one of our cheap trips to Cazorla any time of the year. The town enjoys simple, direct access by road, just a few miles from Jaén and Granada. The average temperature is generally moderate. Enjoy sporting activities such as hiking and canoeing, and take advantage of a holiday deal to Cazorla to enjoy the local cuisine: try the gachamiga, a fried gruel dish, talarines, a thickened rabbit stew, or rin-ran, a fish dish with peppers and potatoes, all cooked with one of the most important local treasures, olive oil.

Your trip to Cazorla is bound to be unforgettable. In any of its corners you’ll enjoy a magical combination of tranquillity, breath-taking nature and a historic past.
