Parador de Cazorla

The Parador de Cazorla is not in the town but out in the sierra, inside the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, the largest protected area in Spain. Paradores places it 26 km from Cazorla by mountain road. The building imitates Andalusian farmhouses, with its great entrance gate and wooden roofs, and all around there is only hillside: it is accommodation for those who come to walk, to cycle or to be quiet, not to go out to dinner in the town.

Rooms with Views of the Sierra

There are standard doubles, superior doubles, junior suites and one accessible room, all bright and with views of the sierra. They have air conditioning, minibar, a laptop-size safe, flat television, hairdryer and a pillow menu; there is room service and breakfast in the room. The price changes with the date and is checked in the Paradores calendar, with room-only, bed-and-breakfast or half-board rates.

Pool, Garden and Parking

The complex has a seasonal outdoor pool, a garden and spacious lounges. The outdoor car park is free and has electric-car charging points. The Parador accepts pets: Paradores asks you to check the conditions before booking.

Mountain Table

The restaurant serves regional Andalusian cooking with mountain recipes, hillside meat, game in season and Segureño lamb. Being so far from the town, the practical thing is to dine here or take half board.

Getting There and When It Closes

The access is signposted from Burunchel, on the La Iruela road. From Úbeda and Baeza you get there by the N-322 and the A-319 via Peal de Becerro and Cazorla. Watch the calendar: the Parador closes from 3 January to 4 March 2027.

Routes from the Door

Hiking and mountain-bike routes through the sierra start from the Parador. In the same area are the source of the Guadalquivir and the Cerrada del Utrero, and Paradores also mentions the Cueva del Agua and the Roman ruins of Quesada. The old town of Cazorla, with the Castillo de la Yedra, is half an hour by car. To organise two days, see the weekend in the Sierra de Cazorla from Jaén.
