Tugia and Toya
The Iberian world explains the municipality’s major archaeological heritage.
TOWN · PEAL DE BECERRO
What to see in Peal de Becerro and Toya: Iberian heritage, olive groves and Sierra de Cazorla
Peal is not a stop invented to make the hotel sound closer to Cazorla. It has its own heritage, shaped by Tugia, the Toya burial chamber, olive groves and local culture.

READ THE PLACE
Peal in three layers.
The visit makes more sense when Toya, the town and the olive landscape are connected rather than treated as unrelated attractions.
Historic Peal
Towers, church and urban space add continuity to the story.
Olive groves
The living productive landscape connects heritage, economy and EVOO.
Living culture
Murals and local creation offer a contemporary reading.
IBERIAN HERITAGE
The Toya chamber deserves to sit at the centre of the story.
It is one of the most distinctive heritage assets close to the hotel and deserves both historical depth and useful visit information.
WHAT TO NOTICE
It is more than a tomb.
The chamber is organised into three naves, with the side naves subdivided, and preserves features including niches and benches. Look at the organisation of the rooms, the stonework and the elements cut into the walls to understand its architecture.
- Connect the chamber with ancient Tugia and its necropolis.
- Explain elite burial practices with documentary caution.
- Complete the visit with the Interpretation Centre to place Tugia, the necropolis and the chamber in context.

AFTER TOYA
Peal continues above ground.
The town and local culture complete the day without inventing an endless list of must-sees.
HERITAGE
Medieval towers
An urban landmark that works best as part of a town walk rather than an isolated stop.

LOCAL CULTURE
Faustino Castillo
The mural route is best enjoyed on foot, locating the works within the streets of Peal rather than treating them as a simple image gallery.

FROM HOTEL AL-ÁNDALUS PEAL
No proximity claim is needed here: the hotel is in Peal.
Peal works first for Toya and the town itself, then as a base for separate days towards Quesada, Cazorla, Santo Tomé and other sectors. For Toya, follow the current visitor information and the actual access point rather than a generic town-centre distance.
