Discover the Secret Inside?
The Cazorla Municipal Tourist Office is much more than an information point: it is a whole experience that integrates history, nature, accessibility and a firm commitment to quality.
It is located in a unique enclave: the Ruins of the Church of Santa Maria, in the historic center of Cazorla, a few steps from the picturesque Plaza de Santa Maria. Women used to come to this church when they came down to "negotiate" from the Sierra. From here starts the Ultratrail Bosques del Sur and right in this same place is located this tourist office. The Town Hall of
Cazorla has chosen this historic place to invite visitors to enter inside its memory as this place represents a perfect fusion between monumental heritage and active tourism. The office is accessed by an adapted ramp that ascends to the Ruins, on one side, integrating into its unique architecture.
Inside, a double-height counter allows a comfortable and accessible service for everyone. It also has an adapted toilet (upon request to the staff) and spaces designed for the sensory and cognitive integration of different visitors. In addition to a projection that recreates the history of the Church, located in the Baptistery Tower.
