Definitely the place to go, if you are looking for beautiful scenery and well-signposted walks. There are many opportunities to enjoy the Parque Natural. The information centre can definitely help you with choosing the options you like best. An absolute must is hiking the Rio Borosa trail (which we did on a VERY rainy day and enjoyed it nevertheless), but- don't stop at the powerstation, where a sign says 'End of Rio Borosa Trail', because it is another 4 to 5 km until you reach the two beautiful mountain lakes at the end of the trail;- don't be afraid of getting wet feet, because sometimes small streams and the trail are identical;- don't forget a flash light for the two tunnels you walk through after the powerstation.But there are many other trails, so don't go there for just one day.
We took a four wheel drive tour which we booked at short notice through the receptionist of our hotel. This was a good move as it removed the stress of driving ourselves and allowed us to concentrate on the scenery. Unfortunately, the driver only spoke Spanish which meant that we missed out on much of the information which he constantly imparted to the four others in the 4wd. Also we could not easily stop if we saw something interesting. On the other hand, we were taken to places I would not have driven our hire car. I would not have seen that there were Vultures perched on the cliffs and I did not have a telescope like the driver's, to peer at them. The views in the Park are spectacular and well worth visiting. We were pleased to be shown them by an enthusiatic local guide in the relative comfort of a 4wd.
Sign posting or lack of them, lovely setting nice pool and gardens.Good restaurant and breakfast excellent value.
Splendid park for hiking, biking and wildlife. If you stop for a rest you might well get checked out by the vultures looking for their lunch! At last they have got round to sign post some hiking trails but a gps is still invaluable. The dirt access roads are neglected and in an abominable condition and 20km/h is frequently as fast as you can progress!
Simply the best park of andalucia. You can't forget to visit the borosa river. And Cazorla town is incredible, small, quite and beautiful..
A stunning area. Very quiet and not touristy. Great walking and a brilliant place to stand and watch vultures wheeling above you.
but bring a flash light for the tunnels...and be prepared to get wet feet
the whole experience was a bit dissapointing to be honest.the Natural park is about a hours drive from Zujar where I was staying, and eventhough i understand this is out of anyones control we didnt get to see any wild animals or big birds...the park itself is remarcable and worth the visit but it was built up a bit to much in my mind
It is for nature lovers, not to be missed. Autumn is a good time to visit for the colours, still warm but not too hot. Will see deer, hear boars. We stayed in Cazorla, the Parador and near Rio Borosa. It is driving on mountain roads, no middle marking and no barriers on the side of the road. Just take it steady.
Stunning. full of wildlife, fantastic scenery. Look out for rutting stags at this time of year, wild boar families, red squirrel and foxes. Craggy limestone mountains that reach 2000m with rivers, lakes and waterfalls all combine to make this a must-do.
