Cazorla Municipal Tourist Office
An office inside a monument
The Cazorla Municipal Information and Tourism Office has an unusual home: the ruins of the church of Santa María, in the square of the same name, in the lower part of the town. It is a 16th-century Renaissance church attributed to Andrés de Vandelvira, built over the river Cerezuelo, which a flood destroyed on 2 June 1694. After its restoration in 2009 and 2010, the town council installed the office in it, along with a multi-purpose space where concerts and performances are held.
Going in to ask a question is already half a visit: you are among the roofless walls of the church, beside the north portal and beneath the coffered vault of the apse.
Opening hours and contact
According to the municipal timetable sign, it opens Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 16:00 to 19:00. That timetable was published in 2023; on public holidays and out of season it is worth phoning first. It answers on 953 71 01 02 and 953 72 00 00, and by email at [email protected].
What you can do there
The office gives tourist information about the town and the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, with maps and leaflets. It hands out Cazorla's local trails guide, which the town council updated in October 2026 and which can also be downloaded from its tourism website: it is useful if you want to walk from the town without taking the car.
Above all, it manages the visit slots for the Cerezuelo river vault, the 16th-century tunnel through which the river passes beneath the square. The sessions run every day, morning and afternoon; ask at the counter for the price and the next free slot.
It is also the place to ask about accessible routes and monuments, which the town council gathers in a section of its own on its website, and about the town's events calendar.
How to get there and what is nearby
Santa María square is a few minutes' walk downhill from the Plaza de la Corredera. By car, the practical thing is to leave it in one of the town-centre car parks, such as the one at the Puente de la Villa, on Calle Río Cerezuelo, and walk down.
From the office, the Yedra Castle and the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs are above the square, following the river. If you want to leave the town without driving, ask about the tourist train to the viewpoints or the 4x4 tour of the reserve zone. For the sierra, the next information point is the Torre del Vinagre visitor centre, on the way to the Borosa river trail.
