Sierra de Cazorla Attractions

From Peal de Becerro (40km/25mi southeast of Úbeda), C 328 runs 15km/9mi east to the picturesque little town of Cazorla, dominated by its castle. This is the chief place in the Sierra de Cazorla, in which the Guadalquivir rises, and a good base for walks and climbs in the sierra and in the Coto Nacional de Cazorla nature park. From here a narrow road crosses the Puerto de las Palomas (1,290m/4,232ft), with magnificent scenery (possibility of an overnight stop in the Parador Nacional El Adelantado), and through the Guadalquivir gorge to Villacarrillo, from which it is 35km/22mi back to Úbeda.
