El Cruce de Hornos

Your stop.Your adventure.Your Sierra.

Restaurant and guesthouse in Hornos de Segura, right inside the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park. Have breakfast, fuel up and head into the hills from here.

Before the trail, after the trail

Hornos looks down from its rock over the Tranco valley. Hikers, bikers, families and passers-by stop here: for an early breakfast, a hearty plate on the way back, or a bed to set off at sunrise the next day.

Mountain cooking, unhurried

Breakfast from seven, tapas at the bar and Sierra dishes to enjoy on the terrace overlooking the valley.

  • Lamb chopsDraftThe dish returning guests remember most.
  • Mountain migasDraftFried breadcrumbs, mountain style. Fuel for before or after a hike.
  • AjoataoDraftA traditional Sierra de Segura recipe of potato, garlic and oil.
