The Orce Tourist Guide app is a free tool part of the Unified Digital Street Map of Andalusia (CDAU) project and developed by the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia (IECA). This app offers detailed information about Orce, a picturesque town located in the Granada Plateau, at the foot of the Sierra de Baza. Its highlights include:

History and Heritage: Orce is famous for its paleontological sites—Barranco León, Venta Micena, and Fuente Nueva—which have revealed tools and human remains up to 1.4 million years old, considered some of the oldest in Europe. It preserves historical monuments such as the Alcazaba de las Siete Torres, a converted Moorish fortress after several restorations and declared a Site of Cultural Interest. Also noteworthy are the Segura Palace—home to the Tourist Office and the Josep Gibert Paleontological Museum—and the majestic Church of Santa María, built on the site of an old mosque and reconstructed in the neoclassical style.

Activities: Visit the "Josep Gibert" Prehistory Museum, which exhibits fossils and locally found tools. Explore the Cerro de la Virgen de la Cabeza site, a walled Chalcolithic settlement, excavated and adapted for visits, including an interpretive cave house. Additionally, a new archaeological campaign has begun at the main sites in the summer of 2025 to delve deeper into prehistoric fauna and human evolution.

Local Gastronomy: The local cuisine stands out for its Segureño lamb—a gastronomic gem of high-class livestock farming—and typical mountain products, complemented by excellent service in restaurants with views of the surroundings.

Festivals and Traditions: Orce preserves unique traditions such as the "Dances of the Temptations of San Antón," a picturesque dance featuring nine figures dressed in sashes, wearing festive hats, and listening to folk music.

The app also includes an interactive street map to locate points of interest, bars, and restaurants, making it easier to plan your visit. Immerse yourself in the essence of Orce and enjoy a unique experience with this comprehensive travel guide.
