Castillejar is situated between the fertile valleys of the rivers Barbatas and Guardal. Some of the most beautiful natural parks in the country are only minutes away– Sierra de Baza to the south, the Sierras of Huescar, Castril, Segura and Cazorla to the north. These mountains offer stunning contrast– pine forests, vertical rock faces, trout rivers, lakes and hot springs.
Swimming pools, Lakes, Springs and Spas– There is a large swimming pool with bar restaurant and amphitheatre for concerts. This is situated on the outskirts of the village and is open during the summer months. There is also a large outdoor pool at nearby Cullar, and natural spring water pools in Orce and Huescar. The intense blue waters of lake Embalse de Negratin are in striking contrast to the landscape, and an ideal place for water sports, here you can relax in the thermal springs which are open every day except for Christmas day!
Hiking, Cycling and Horse Riding– All of these activities can easily be undertaken virtually straight from the doorstep– there are many way marked routes, from simple strolls and walks between villages to more demanding challenges in the surrounding mountains. Bike hire and horse riding are available locally.
General– A welcome pack is included in the price, so when you arrive, you will have some basics to keep you going! Ryan air fly everyday into Granada, offering excellent low cost airfares. Car hire is reasonable, and the 90 minutes drive to Castillejar is through the beautiful Sierra Nevada.
