Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park

The park spans 2,099 square kilometers across the Sierra de Cazorla and Sierra de Segura mountain ranges, featuring limestone formations and pine forests.

The protection of 700 square kilometers in the southern section began in 1960 with the establishment of the National Hunting Reserve of Cazorla y Segura.

The territory contains archaeological sites with prehistoric cave paintings and remains of Iberian settlements dating from 2000 BCE in the mountainous areas.

The park offers multiple entry points through 23 municipalities, with visitor centers providing maps for hiking trails between 500 and 2,107 meters in elevation.

Two major Spanish rivers, the Guadalquivir and the Segura, originate within the park boundaries, flowing through deep canyons and creating numerous waterfalls.
