A long journey from where we live but worth it, loads of lovely walks including waterfalls, streams and river trails, a lovely town with nice places to eat and drink, very beautiful surroundings and a charming old town feel.

Really lovely small town with some interesting things to see. Plus it is a great gateway to the Cazorla Natural park which is just fabulous. El Chorro where you can watch the vultures soaring was a highlight as was too the Rio Borrosa

The streets in the town centre are very narrow which are shared by pedestrians and cars and at times come too close for comfort. A number of the bars and restaurants are closed for a number of days during the week or some permanently due to lack of staff!! The food served in most places was Tapas, Raciones which were mainly very good if not too different from one bar to another. If you are sightseeing by car be prepared for challenging mountain roads and local rally drivers. The town has a lot of charm but as a natural reserve better not to be visited in the hot summer months.

If your time is limited I would much rather stay in close by Ubeda which in my view outclasses Cazorla by far. From Ubeda take the road behind Cazorla to the Parador. Maybe stroll a few minutes in Cazorla. The roads are very very steep and very very narrow and… there is quite a bit of traffic - locals commuting. There are not that many restaurants in Cazorla (out of season that is) and again Ubeda is much better from this point. Then take the N322 back to Ubeda and you’ll have one of the most scenic drives of your life.

Beautiful old city with incredible views. Do not drive in the town, just walk! Streets are narrow and diesel fumes are pervasive. Walking tours are fun. Lots of places to shop, eat, and just sit and watch people. Trails and roads up into the mountains are easily found. In 5 minutes you can be in the mountains with a stream, forest, and incredible views over the town. I love it here! The Hotel Ciudad is a great gathering place.
