The village is situated
to the east of the province, within the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura
and Las Villas National Park, the largest protected natural space
in Spain: an orographic labyrinth of valleys, calares, gorges, mountains
and flat lands of enormous hydrological importance (due to the numerous
rivers and streams which spring within the Park); of great botanical
importance (different varieties of pine trees and a lot of endemic
species); it is also important aesthetically and from a wildlife
point of view. Because of this it is one of the most visited and
frequented natural spaces in the country.
The village, picturesque and of great tourist interest, lies in
the shade of the Peña de los Halcones, with the mountains
behind and a immense sea of olive trees before it, offering an impressive
and spectacular view. Above the village we can see the Castle of
la Yedra, which presides over the narrow streets with their traditional
dwellings, palatial houses and monuments among which we must highlight
the Castle of the Cinco Esquinas (Five Corners), the Town Hall,
the Plaza de Santa María Square, the Church of San. Francisco,
Church of San José and the House of the Siete Fuentes (Seven
Fountains).
