I Visit Segura

Festival de delicatessen musicales | Segura de la Sierra

A charming village in a National Park

The sight cannot be more delightful: a medieval castle on top of a hill and a whitewashed town of narrow streets beneath. Mountains as far as the eye can see, and the vast expanse of Spanish blue sky above. Segura de la Sierra was designated a Spanish History and Art Heritage Site in 1972.

Blue skies and rosemary and thyme scent prevail all year round in Segura, Cazorla and Las Villas National Park. Waters are clean, forests are alive and the summits are clear. Segura National Park, one of the gems of Iberian wildlife, enjoys outstanding figures in terms of biodiversity. Some of the animals that live here (which sometimes we sight on our hikes) are red and fallow deer, wild goats, mouflon, wild boar, golden eagle and bearded vulture. This chalky mountain range is covered with one of the richest Mediterranean forests where black pines and holm oaks champion a large number of other vegetal species.

Castles, mountain villages and white washed narrow-streeted towns are scattered throughout this well preserved rural area, as the local human population has always lived in harmony with its impressive natural surroundings. This scenery, presumably amongst the most exciting ones in Southern Europe, is still to be discovered by the vast majority of tourists.

Travelling to conserve

Segura National Park has been included in the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism and therefore it is generously supported by the Europarc Federation to improve the sustainable development and the management of tourism taking account of the needs of the environment, the local population and the local tourism businesses. This commitment with the preservation guarantees a quality experience for all visitors.
