#MAGICALTOWNS-ROUTE THROUGH THE SIERRAS OF CAZORLA, SEGURA, AND LAS VILLAS from 932 €

Description

Imagine a journey that takes you to the heart of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, where every day is an immersion in the majesty of nature, history and the most authentic Andalusian traditions. From the get-go, you'll be surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, staying in a rural retreat that becomes your gateway to a world of wonder.

Cazorla welcomes you with its hills, castles and legends. Walking through its streets is like going through the pages of a history book, where Moorish fortresses and Renaissance ruins mingle with the murmur of the river that winds beneath the city. The murmur of the water, the wooden bridges and the waterfalls hidden in the paths of the Cerezuelo River envelop you in a magical atmosphere. Life here seems to flow at a different pace, one where nature and culture intertwine to offer a deeply enriching experience.

When you arrive in Iznatoraf, you feel that time has stopped. This town, with its narrow streets and centuries-old walls, transports you to a time of kings and poets. From its viewpoints, the views are spectacular, showing the mountains as a mosaic of infinite landscapes. It is a place where every corner tells a story, where every stone seems to have witnessed centuries of history. The experience is like walking through an Andalusian dream, full of aromas of flowers and ancient earth.

Afterwards, Chiclana de Segura unfolds before you like a hidden treasure, nestled in the rock and surrounded by a horizon that spans four provinces. Here, the white streets and houses reflect the sunlight, creating an almost unreal contrast with the blue of the sky. Going up to the castle via a panoramic elevator is an adventure in itself, giving you a unique perspective on the urban fabric and the vast landscape beyond. Legends of the past resonate around every corner, especially when you discover the life and work of Jorge Manrique, the warrior poet whose words still resonate in these lands.

Finally, Orcera invites you to discover its most hidden secrets. This picturesque corner is gradually revealed, from its Muslim towers to its old church. Here, water takes center stage, not only in its historic river pool and washhouses, but in the way the village itself seems to flourish around it. It is a place where history feels alive, where the connection to the past is felt in every stone and in every story narrated by the locals.

Each village on this route is like a jewel, shiny and unique, which is part of a necklace that decorates the soul of Andalusia. It is a journey that does not follow a fixed itinerary, but invites you to get lost, to discover and to feel life in its most genuine form.
