Popis: This study evaluated the long-term changes in precipitation patterns and drought conditions in one of the key recharge areas of the hydrological system of southern and southeastern Spain, namely, the Sierra de Cazorla y Segura, which contains the headwater sectors of the catchment basins of two important rivers, namely, the Guadalquivir and the Segura. The research covered a period of 70 years (1952–2021) and undertook an exhaustive analysis of data from 348 pluviometric stations. The most relevant results are as follows: (1) most areas experienced a decrease in the precipitation volume and number of rainy days during the study period; (2) summer and winter showed the most significant decreases; (3) weak and moderate precipitation (
