Sierra de Castril, Natural park in Jaén, Spain.
The Sierra de Castril spans 12,265 hectares of mountainous terrain with deep valleys, steep cliffs, and dense forests at elevations ranging from 855 to 2,138 meters.
The natural park designation in 1989 marked a turning point for conservation efforts, integrating the area into the European Natura 2000 network of protected spaces.
The remains of Castril Castle stand as a testament to medieval architecture, providing views across the mountain range and connecting visitors to regional heritage.
The visitor center, situated at kilometer 0.2 on highway A-326 from Castril to Pozo Alcón, offers information about hiking trails and wildlife observation points.
The River Castril emerges with substantial force from underground springs, creating one of southern Spain's primary trout habitats with waters supporting otter populations.
