Ruins of the Church of Santa María

Highlight • Historical Site

It is one of the most representative monuments of the city of Cazorla called the Church of Santa María, whose ruins are usually compared as a symbol of Cazorla because, according to historians, it was never completely finished.

Just below this church, today dedicated to cultural activities such as concerts, plays, etc., the Cerezuelo River passes through the construction of very old galleries open to the public to be visited with the company of a guide.

La Yedra Castle

Highlight • Castle

La Yedra Castle is an ancient defensive structure in the Spanish municipality of Cazorla. It is located at the foot of the Salvatierra hill, above the Cerezuelo river, in the province of Jaén. It is a building from the Berber period, but it was completed in its current form by the Castilians. From the complex, located 831 meters above sea level, you can see the city of Cazorla and its surroundings.

The architecture has several Muslim features, although over the centuries Christians completed the final design, so the Gothic style predominates (translated from Wikipedia).

At this point in Puerto Gilillo you will find an intersection of paths. Our route follows the long distance route, red and white signs. But you also have the possibility of going up to the top of the hill, Pico Gallillo or going down to the Guadalquivir river.

Cazorla

Highlight • Settlement

Cazorla is a town with a great history and culture. It is perfect to rest after a long route and visit the ruins of the church of Santa María, the vault of the Cerezuelo river and the Yedra castle.

If you like blues, don't miss Bluescazorla, a festival that takes place at the beginning of July and is one of the most cutting-edge in Spain.

Don't leave Cazorla without trying typical dishes such as gachamiga, andrajos, rin ran or ajoarina.
