Description

This trip is a real adventure that invites you to get lost in breathtaking landscapes, charming villages and gastronomy that will make you salivate. From the moment you arrive, you are immersed in the very essence of a land that combines history, nature and exquisite flavors. It is not just a tour; It is a journey through time and the senses.

Imagine starting in Orce, a place where ancient history blends with life today. Here, the streets and monuments tell you about a remote past, when the first settlers of Europe walked through these same lands. Feel the magic in the air as you explore castles and palaces, and marvel at fossils that tell stories from millions of years ago. Afterwards, you savour the authentic local cuisine, with Segureño lamb as the protagonist, a culinary experience that envelops you in the true spirit of the region.

The adventure continues as you travel through spectacular landscapes towards towns such as Puebla de Don Fadrique and Aýna. Each place is a world apart: Puebla seduces you with its history and traditional architecture, while Aýna surprises you with its deep and mysterious gorges, sculpted by the Mundo River. Here, nature invites you to explore it thoroughly, from prehistoric caves with ancient cave paintings to hiking trails that take you to corners full of mystery and beauty.

Every day is a new surprise. In Bogarra, the crystalline waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints take your breath away, offering you moments of pure connection with nature. Orcera, with its colorful streets and natural pools, welcomes you with a relaxed and lively atmosphere. It's a place where you can wander aimlessly, discovering ancient towers and cute flower-filled squares while sampling local delicacies at each stop.

Further on, the charming villages of Iznatoraf and Chiclana de Segura await you. They are like hidden gems, with their walls and towers that seem to whisper stories of conquests and legends. Strolling through its winding streets is like entering a medieval tale, while you look out over viewpoints that give you spectacular views of the mountains and valleys. All this accompanied by the delicious local cuisine, which will make you rediscover the pleasure of eating.

And just when you think it can't get any better, you arrive in Castellar, the final destination of this unforgettable route. Here, you immerse yourself in a sea of culture and history: from the Iberian remains to museums that tell you the legends of the region. The beauty of its landscapes and the richness of its heritage envelop you, while you enjoy a last meal that sums up the essence of everything you have experienced: tradition, passion and flavour in its purest form.

This trip is not just a tour of places; It is a journey to the heart of a region that conquers you with every landscape, every dish and every story. It invites you to disconnect from the world and let yourself be carried away by the authenticity of its villages, by the hospitality of its people and by the richness of its culture. It is a unique experience that will change you, a journey for the senses that you will remember forever.

2nd Day – Orce - Puebla de Don Fadrique
2nd Day – Orce - Puebla de Don Fadrique

After a wonderful night you will go down to breakfast because you have to regain strength for the day ahead. Today we set off to discover the treasures of Orce. We start with the visit of El Castillo. Also known as the "Alcazaba of the Seven Towers", it was declared a National Monument in 1973 and is in a magnificent state of preservation. We will continue with a visit to the Palacio de los Segura. It was built between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and was retouched in the eighteenth century. It is an extensive building with two floors and a solarium. The wrought iron of the exterior balconies and its interior courtyard stand out, in which six white marble columns support a beautiful wooden gallery in Castilian style. We will finish by visiting The Memory of Time. In Orce "the memory of time" is kept, as in few places. Memory of the earth in the valuable paleontological and prehistoric sites of Venta Micena, Barranco León and Fuente Nueva. Memory of the "first settlers of Europe" in the valuable remains found of the "Orce Man", who coexisted with the large mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, hyenas and hippos, which populated the shores of the great lake that extended in the Altiplano of Granada. INTERPRETATION CENTRES: Orce keeps its extraordinary palaeontological treasures at the Josep Gibert "First Settlers of Europe" Interpretation Centre, a centre that has an excellent sample of fossils of different animals now extinct and also the fossilised vestiges of the presence of hominids of the genus Homo from 1.4 million years ago. In the Archaeological Interpretation Centre of the Cerro de la Virgen de Orce, we find an interesting collection of tools, ceramics, flint and grain mills from the Argaric culture, present – among others – in the nearby site of Cerro de la Virgen. In addition, the Centre has excellent audiovisual material and exhibition panels that explain the dawn of civilisation. We will then invite you to eat at a local restaurant. After lunch we say goodbye to Orce and continue our route to the next Magical Town, Puebla de Don Fadrique. A good place to visit, for its urban fabric, for its history, for its monuments, for its natural wealth, for its traditions and festivals, for its authenticity in short. You will arrive at the end of the afternoon at the accommodation we chose with time to rest a little before going out to dine on one of the typical dishes of the region, in a local restaurant. After a full day, return to the accommodation for a well-deserved rest.

Located on the banks of the Mundo River, between the peaks of Halcón (1232 m.) and Albarda (1254 m.) several kilometers upstream from Royo Odrea, village of Ayna, and very close to the boundary with Bogarra. Its name is due to the neighbors of the nearby hamlets (Los Luisos, El Avellano, Carbabos, San Martín, etc.) who called it the "Cueva de los Niñotes" in reference to the cave paintings of the upper Palaeolithic that it houses. They are listed as the oldest paintings in Castilla La Mancha and declared a World Heritage Site in 1998 by UNESCO. Next, we will do a fantastic  3.5km Hiking Route.

6th Day – Orcera & Iznatoraf
6th Day – Orcera & Iznatoraf

Have an early breakfast and go out to discover Orcera. We start with the visit of the Towers of Santa Catalina. They are a set of three fortified towers, from the Muslim period, located on a hill between the Trujala and Orcera rivers. Dated between the end of the twelfth century and the beginning of the thirteenth, at the time of Almohad control over al-Andalus. Possibly, the two twin towers had the function of an optical tower, and the third looks more like part of a rural castle. Next, we will visit the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in the historic center of Orcera. With an exceptional façade, from the Franciscan monastery of the Virgen de la Peña de la Sierra de Segura, and windows of rich carving and careful ornamentation. The factory began in the sixteenth century, it was rebuilt in 1817, after the devastation of Napoleon's troops, and restored in 1939 due to the damage suffered during the Civil War. We will end our tour at the Maritime Province Interpretation Center. In this museum you will find all the information about the Maritime Province from its beginning in 1733 to its end in 1836, an exhibition of tools, clothing, furniture of the time and a structure simulating the ships that were made with wood extracted from our mountains. At the end we will invite you to eat in a typical restaurant before leaving Orcera and continuing to our next Magical Town, Iznatoraf. Narrow streets with the scent of Andalusia, full of flowers. Its wall, its church, gives us reason to think about its enormous legacy, its melting pot of cultures over the centuries, from the Muslims to Christianity. You will arrive at the late afternoon at the accommodation we chose with time to rest a bit before heading out for dinner at a local restaurant. After a full day, return to the accommodation for a well-deserved rest.

8th Day – Chiclana de Segura & Castellar

From this viewpoint, located next to the ruins of the castle, we will get impressive views of four provinces: Ciudad Real, Granada, Albacete and Jaén itself. Next, we will take a walk through the town centre: Located at a great height, embedded in a rock, Chiclana spreads through winding streets, whimsical corners and improvised squares. We will ascend to the Castle through the Panoramic Elevator. This 24-metre lift connects the lower part of the village with the remains of the old medieval fortress. This infrastructure offers the opportunity to access the castle while enjoying a unique perspective of the urban fabric and landscape of the area. We will end our historical tour at the Interpretation Centre of Jorge Manrique, the most important poet of Spanish literature of the second half of the fifteenth century, who lived and wrote in the castle of Chiclana de Segura. The Centre tells us through multiple panels, interactive and audiovisual screens, even in 3D hologram, the facet of Jorge Manrique as a warrior in the context of the internal wars of Castile for his throne, and that of a poet, with the famous Coplas on the death of his father. At the end we will invite you to eat in a typical restaurant before leaving Chiclana de Segura and continuing to the last Magical Town of our route, Castellar.
