The extensive, varied terrain of the Sierra del Segura contains numerous attractive and unique natural spaces with mountains and rivers, canyons, and vast valleys. The region, which owes its name to the main river that irrigates the area, stretches to the southwest of the province of Albacete, in the southernmost part of Castilla-La Mancha, bordering Jaén, Granada and Murcia.

 

Among the most noteworthy of its protected natural environments is the Calares del Mundo and de la Sima Natural Park. However, the whole region is generally extremely attractive with its varied mountain ecosystems, and water courses helping to shape the beautiful scenery. Sierra del Segura has local tourism associations and entities with expertise in astronomy that operate in the local area.
