Description

This trip is an immersion in the most authentic essence of the region, a tour that combines landscapes of mountains and olive groves with the rich gastronomic tradition of Segureño lamb. From Orcera to Castellar, each village becomes a living tale of culture, history and unforgettable flavours.

You will start in Orcera, a corner that embodies the tranquil beauty of the mountains. Its flowery streets and respect for water, evident in its river pool and old washing place, invite you to a relaxed walk through local history and traditions. Here, life goes by at a different pace, where the warmth of the people and the tranquility of the surroundings envelop you in a unique atmosphere. At night, the local gastronomy comes to life in the restaurants of the area, with Segureño lamb as the protagonist in each dish, prepared with care following recipes passed down from generation to generation.

The journey continues to Iznatoraf, a town that reveals itself as a hidden treasure, with streets that evoke the most authentic Andalusia. Between centuries-old walls and historic buildings, Iznatoraf is a testament to the melting pot of cultures that has marked this land. As you walk through its steep streets and admire its viewpoints, you will feel the deep connection between the landscape and history. Lunch at a local restaurant becomes a celebration of the region's flavors, with fresh produce and dishes that speak to the land and its traditions.

Chiclana de Segura transports you to a bygone era. Its white houses and its meandering urban layout, embedded in the rock, seem suspended in time. The views from the castle offer you a panoramic spectacle, a setting in which the provinces of Jaén, Ciudad Real, Granada and Albacete are intertwined. A visit to the Jorge Manrique Interpretation Centre connects you with literature and history, showing you the poet's legacy and his link with these lands. Chiclana is a place that invites you to contemplate, to get lost in its corners and let yourself be carried away by the serenity of its surroundings.

Finally, Castellar closes this journey with its mixture of history, archaeology and natural beauty. The Iberian Sanctuary, with the mystique of the Cueva de la Lobera, takes you back to ancient times, where the rites and beliefs of the Oretanos were intertwined with the landscape. Its museums, full of memory and art, offer you a journey through the past, from ancient times to modern days. And as you walk through its streets, you are enveloped by the aroma of olive oil, the liquid gold that is the soul of this land.

This journey is more than a route; It is a transformative experience that invites you to connect with the essence of a region rich in traditions, landscapes and culture. Each village, each dish, each landscape tells a story that remains engraved in the memory, leaving a trail of beauty, flavor and knowledge.

Arrival at the rural accommodation that we chose in Viana so that you can enjoy a GENUINE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE on the route of the Segureño lamb, between mountains and OLIVOS. This gastronomic journey will immerse you in the delicious culinary tradition of the region, where Segureño lamb becomes the undisputed protagonist. From the lands of Orcera to the majesty of Castellar, each stop on this route tells a story of flavor, enchanting landscapes, and the cultural heritage of the local cuisine. The start of the route takes place in Orcera. Picturesque and interesting, a corner where great importance is given to water, its huge river pool or its old laundry room testifies to this. Colorful streets, full of flowers and crowded with pots. 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 I return to the accommodation to rest.

2nd Day – Orcera & Iznatoraf
2nd 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.

3rd Day – Iznatoraf & Chiclana de Segura
3rd Day – Iznatoraf & Chiclana de Segura

Have an early breakfast and set off to discover Iznatoraf. We start by taking a walk through the Gates and Wall of Iznatoraf. The urban wall of Iznatoraf was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985. It preserves a large part of its canvases and many of its doors. The Puerta del Arrabal stands out, built in line with the wall. With a semicircular arch. Inside, it houses a relief of the Virgin framed by small pilasters and cornice. Next, we will visit the Clock Tower. It is located presiding over the Plaza de San Fernando. It consists of two bodies, the first is a square body in which the clock is housed and above it an octagonal base body. Finishing off the whole we find a body with bells. We will finish our tour with a small Hiking Route through the Viewpoints. Iznatoraf is the best balcony in the Sierras de las Villas, Cazorla and Segura. Don't miss our two viewpoints and fall in love with the views. At the end we will invite you to eat in a typical restaurant before leaving Iznatoraf and continuing to our next Magical Town, Chiclana de Segura. A town that seems frozen in time, a hidden treasure in the lands of Jaén. Its streets and white houses evoke a sober elegance that transports us to past times. 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.

4th Day – Chiclana de Segura y Castellar
4th Day – Chiclana de Segura y Castellar

Have an early breakfast and go out to discover Chiclana de Segura. We start by visiting the Mirador del Castillo. 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. Strolling through its streets, admiring its monuments, visiting its museums and savouring and taking home its gastronomy and local products (especially olive oil) is a luxury that we can afford. 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.

5th Day – Castellar

Have an early breakfast and go out to discover Castellar. We start by visiting the Iberian Sanctuary. Located on a rocky ledge in what is known as the Altos del Sotillo, it is an emblematic settlement of Iberian archaeology; it is located on an important communication route of antiquity: the Via Heraclea. The central nucleus constituted by the well-known Cueva de la Lobera is noteworthy. It is a shallow shelter that was close to at least two water springs, the Fuente del Caño and the Fuente del Sotillo. Next, we will visit the Museum of Historical Memory of Castellar. The building has three floors of exhibition space. On the first floor, we can take a historical tour from the origins of Castellar to the present day. The second exhibition room is dedicated to the landscape museum. Finally, the third floor is dedicated to the figure of the brilliant local sculptor Constantino Unghetti. We will end our historical tour at the Museum of Iberian Art. Through its two exhibition rooms we can find numerous information about the world of our ancestors the Oretanos, supported by advanced audiovisual means, such as interactive kiosks and projections on the stone and, in turn, be able to contemplate in situ the bronze votive offerings. Before the farewell of this fantastic Route, we will invite you to eat in a local restaurant.
