In addition, Siyâsa, the ancient Andalusian city, and the Balcón del Muro and the monumental urban route join them, to show the traveler the passage of time in this unique geographical enclave.

The Almadenes Canyon, where the Segura River narrows forming walls of hundreds of meters, is ideal for practicing adventure sports. Cieza offers the possibility not only of enjoying culture but also of savoring the risks of nature.
