The Ciudad de Cazorla tourist train is a little train on wheels run by TurisNat, a local company, up the town's slopes and out to the viewpoints on the outskirts. It leaves from the Plaza de Santa María, beside the ruins of the church, and has several routes. The most complete, Cazorla a vista de pájaro, lasts about an hour and climbs to the panoramic viewpoints over the town and to the chapel of the Virgen de la Cabeza. It is a comfortable way to see Cazorla from above without climbing the slopes on foot.
Four Routes, from Half an Hour to Two
Route 1, Cazorla a vista de pájaro, costs €9 per adult and €6 for ages 2 to 12, and leaves with a minimum of ten seats. Route 2A is a half-hour circuit through the historic centre (the Zabaleta balcony, the Plaza de Santa María, the Cadenas fountain and the San Isicio hillside) for €6 and €5. Route 2B adds a guided visit to the church of Santa María and entry to the Cerezuelo river vault, for €15 and €12, with a minimum of fifteen seats and booking 24 hours ahead.
Route 3, Noche mágica de leyendas, is an evening walk of about two hours with a guide in period dress, which tours Cazorla and La Iruela with part on foot and entry to the vault: €22 per adult and €11 per child, with booking and prepayment. In October and November it leaves at 20:00 or 20:30.

If you prefer to walk with a guide, TurisNat also has the Cazorleando route through the old town. Park in one of the Cazorla car parks and walk down: inside the old town the streets are narrow.
