Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in the Grazalema Sierra

The amazing landscapes and fresh mountain air of the Grazalema Natural Park make for wonderful, rewarding walking in Spain’s deep south. Africa is close in every sense, from the scent of orange trees to the Moorish influence on the whitewashed buildings. If the scenery is magnificent, equally outstanding is the wildlife – the craggy limestone peaks shelter surprisingly green valleys and gullies, which in turn are home to an astonishing array of flowers and birds.
Of the region’s famed pueblos blancos (‘white towns’), Grazalema is one of the prettiest, framed by mountains and with sloping cobbled streets, and makes a perfect base for a week of walking and discovery. This is an area we know very well – Inntravel has offered holidays here for many years – and we offer an exceptionally wide range of detailed and informative walking routes. Fantastic at any time of year, they are particularly special in April and May, when flowers line the paths.

  • An introduction
    Knowing this area as we do, we are able to provide you with a wide selection of walking routes in the Grazalema Natural Park. Some lead direct from Grazalema (sometimes requiring a bus or taxi back – pay locally), while others are accessed using your hire car.

    Please note that access to the protected areas within the Natural Park is strictly controlled by entry permits of which a limited number are released each day in order to protect the unique bio-reserves. These areas are usually closed between June and October and, in addition, the Natural Park authorities may also very occasionally close them at short notice during particularly dry weather to prevent the risk of fire. Permits can be requested in person from the Park Office in the nearby village of El Bosque, or for some routes from the Tourist Office in Grazalema. A permit is required for the walks marked with an asterix (*).
  • Choice of routes: 7.5km to 10km

    Llanos de Ravel* (Valley of the Lute): 10km, 3hrs; ascent/descent 430m
    An easy descent on a panoramic wide track through the mountains brings you to a bowl-shaped valley which makes a delightful picnic spot. Loop through woodland, passing several pinsapos (an ancient species of fir found only here and in Morocco), before returning to the valley and heading back along the track to your car. (*Permit required.)

    There-and-back riverside route from El Bosque to Benamahoma: 9km, 4-5hrs; ascent/descent 210m
    Pleasant riverside paths lead between the villages of El Bosque and Benamahoma, revealing picturesque mountain river scenery and a great variety of trees, birds and flowers.

    Smugglers' trail: 8km, 2-3hrs; ascent 200m/descent 240m
    This is a pretty and easy walk along the river Guadiaro, following an old drovers’ trail, also used by smugglers in days gone by, on the contraband route up from Gibraltar to Ronda. After lunch in Jimera, you could walk back or take the train.

    Cork Woods Circuit: 7.5km, 3hrs; ascent/descent 160m
    This is a gentle, half-day circular walk from Grazalema that explores an area of cork oak woods, streams and green open valleys, grazed by the sheep and goats that give these villages their famous cheeses.
    Cork woods circuit
  • Choice of routes: 5km to 14.5km

    Grazalema to Benaocaz: 11km, 4.5hrs ; ascent 515m/descent 540m
    This beautiful walk leads over the Sierra del Endrinal (‘Blackthorn Mountains’) into a secret valley encircled by a sheer rock wall in which a ruined farmhouse is surrounded by poplars and tiny streams. It then drops down through green valleys between limestone ridges to the white village of Benaocaz. You can return by bus.

    Linear route through the Pinsapo forest*: 14km, 5.5hrs
    Ascend to the ridge above Grazalema for far-reaching views north across overlapping ranges. Your route skirts the side of the ridge and descends into the Pinsapar, a mysterious forest of rare Spanish firs (Abies pinsapo). You descend some 800 metres, passing through changing vegetation of mastic and mixed oaks to arrive at the pretty village of Benamahoma. Return to Grazalema by taxi. (*Permit required.)

    Circular route above Zahara: 14.5km, 5hrs; ascent/descent 630m
    From the village of Zahara, you cross open farmland, then walk up through a stream valley to a pass. From here, forest tracks and paths lead through another valley, with views of nearby gorges, one of which is home to a colony of griffon vultures.  

    The Two Valleys: 13km, 4.5hrs; ascent/descent 620m  
    This is a lovely circular walk through a varied landscape. Instead of scenery of limestone mountains, you discover a lost world, where ruined farms, overgrown threshing floors and collapsed stone walls evidence a time when countryfolk once made their living from the land, traversing the very same paths that you do.

    The Green Gorge*: 5km, 5hrs; ascent/descent 390m
    To reach this walk, you drive over panoramic Dove Pass (1,300 metres) which affords fantastic views over the turquoise waters of the nearby lake. The walk itself descends some 300 metres through the dramatic Garganta Verde (‘Green Gorge’). Lined with Mediterranean bushes, the gorge is home to 200 pairs of griffon vultures, and it is well worth detouring to the vulture-viewing platform, from where you may also see choughs, crag martins and alpine swifts. Continue to the bottom of the gorge, where there is a cave overhung with wild fig trees and ferns, and retrace your steps back to your car. (*Permit required.)
    The Garganta Verde
  • Choice of routes: 10km to 16km

    Montejaque circuit: 16km, 6-7hrs; ascent/descent 570m
    Starting in Montejaque, this spectacular and very varied route leads through a lunar landscape then descends through natural ‘rock gardens’ connecting grassy plains. After passing an old farm with a threshing floor, you enter woodland and then a beautiful green valley. The walk finishes by crossing the olive-clad ridge hiding Montejaque.

    Simancón: 10km, 4.5hrs; ascent/descent 810m
    Enjoy a challenging climb to the summit of Simancón (1,564 metres), for inspirational 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. You may be lucky enough to spot ibex as you walk.
    On the circular route around Montejaque
  • Ronda, Arcos de la Frontera, Jerez & more
    The walking may be excellent, but don’t neglect the many fascinating towns and villages. The magnificent and astonishingly sited white town of Ronda is unmissable, as is the smaller but equally dramatic Arcos de la Frontera set in splendid isolation on a sandstone cliff. There are many other atmospheric white towns within easy driving distance, including Zahara de la Sierra with its hill-top castle, and Setenil, whose houses shelter beneath an overhanging rock ledge. Jerez de la Frontera, an elegant town famed for its sherry, is another worthwhile excursion, while fantastic, flamboyant Seville is also less than a 90-minute drive away. We provide route notes for three different driving tours which reveal the best of the region.

    We had a wonderful holiday, thank you, it was exactly what we were after, and very suited to our tastes. The accommodation, walks, and scenery were gorgeous, and we had some lovely meals, albeit one of the two restaurants was closed for the period. We did four walks, they were all very diferent and very enjoyable, and your directions were excellent. We met a local couple on one of the walks who actually knew David the walks' author, and we were assured we were in very safe hands. Our host Andreas could not have been more welcoming or helpful, and as his wife Ana has Coeliac Disease, supply of GF items for me was never a problem, either at breakfast or for the picnics. As an aside: Your clients may want to steer clear of any brand new Avis cars with almost nothing on the clock!!

    Grazalema is a lovely, friendly place to stay a while. Hotel Mejorana is tremendous - Andres could not have been more helpful or welcoming. The mountains are beautiful, the great oaks are wonderful and the vultures are stunning. Of course the walking can be quite arduous. Be careful if you go off piste!

  • Rhodwyn

    Andreas was the most helpful and lovely host who went out of his way to alleviate our worries when a warning light came on in our hire car. (He phoned Avis and it turned out to be nothing serious). Not only that, he offered to lend me money when I was pick pocketed in Ronda! (Be aware on the hill up from the Baths to the main town.) We still had a relaxing holiday in beautiful unspoilt Grazelema.

    This is the third time we have used Inntravel to book a walking holiday and you never disappoint, fantastic locations, wonderful local accommodation, friendly hosts and walking notes which are simple to follow.

  • Mr A Leach

    The Grazalema Sierra is a beautiful place to spend a holiday. Not only are there fantastic walks there are plenty of other sights to see - Ronda was beautiful and we particularly enjoyed our visit to the Arab baths. We visited in September and it was still very hot and the ground was extremely parched. I think we'd have enjoyed the holiday even more if we'd gone in Spring or early Summer. The highlight for me was walking up Simancon and across the col to El Reloj. I would have liked to complete the circular walk back to Grazalema from there but unfortunately that option was not provided in the trip notes and the Hotel route notes were not detailed enough for me to find my way down. The return walk was fantastic all the same.

    La Mejorana is a wonderful place to stay. It is extremely peaceful but still located close to the centre of town and the restaurants. Andres is a very accommodating host, providing advice on which places to visit as well as the suitability of the various walks including the additional tome he provided! He also gives guests the use of a communal fridge and is more than happy for you to bring back food to eat on the terrace with a nice glass of wine in the evening. We recommend the Barbazul red!

  • Ms J Colquhoun

    Could not have enjoyed our walking holiday in Grazalema more. The village is unspoiled by mass tourism (so far) and the walking in the surrounding coutryside and mountains is fabulous. Having the hire car meant we could visit some of the other beatuiful pueblos blancos. La Mejorana is a lovely little hotel. Great breakfasts and packed lunches. After a hard day's walking it was so nice to relax by the pool for a coupe of hours or sit on the attractive terrace. Our host Andres is a lovely chap and very knowledgable about walking routes. Thoroughly recommend both the village and La Mejorana!

    Enjoyed our holiday, remote traditional village centred holiday. Reasonable prices when eating out. The locals were very friendly too. Speaking some words of Spanish can help. Marvellous hotel and excellent service with the owner making us feeling really at home. Andres has perfect English. He lit a fire each night for us! Both restaurants in the voucher scheme were fine but the best meals were either in the gastrobar opp the hotel or Casa las Piedras. We enjoyed the el Simancon and gorge walks best plus the circuit to Benaocaz with the extension to Dornajo was really atmospheric. We didn’t have time to do llanos de ravel or the Montejacque circuit, maybe next time!

  • Anon

    Our stay is Grazalema was very enjoyable. Andres was very helpful and very knowledgeable on the walks in the area. The property is in a very scenic position and we were very impressed with the restaurants and facilities in Grazalema.

  • Mrs C Day

    Well worth visiting when the nature reserve was open and going to El Bosque to get the permits for any day of the week, though still not the weekend even in November. The local TI could only issue them for that day or the next day and didn't open until 10.00.

  • Professor RJ Hill

    Our highlights included a walk to the summit of The Simancon on a very fine day, a visit to Ronda enhanced by Inntravel walking notes, a visit to the excellent Pileta caves, and simply staying and eating in Grazalema. We think that a visit to the Pileta caves should be compulsory for all Grazelama Inntravellers! Overall, we had a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable holiday. 

    It might be worth noting that we arrived on the weekend of the Festival which changed Grazamela into a very busy, noisy place (including gun-shots) for two days or more. Awareness of this would have been helpful. Parking is a very problematic task during this popular event. 

  • Miss E Duckworth

    We loved the area, Grazalema was authentic and very beautiful. The mountain walks are challenging in a 'mainly' good way. The flowers and griffon vultures were spectacular.

    Wildlife, magnificent flora & fauna. Very striking location. Beautiful area of Spain, for hospitality and scenery.

  • Mr N Ziebland

    Personal highight was organising a nature guide for one day. As a way of learning quickly about a new area we would strongly recommend it. Saw flowers and birds that we otherwise would not have found or indentified.

  • Mrs A Collins

    Grazalema is a charming village. The hotel is quiet, friendly and well-situated. The countryside is varied. The walks are excellent. 

  • Mr A Bateman
    Canada
    20 April 2018

    Grazalema was fantastic and our hosts were marvellous and helped in every way. The hiking is spectacular and, in April, there were so many wildflowers and birds in song. The vultures put on a wonderful display.

  • R North Yorkshire
    11 April 2018

    We would recommend flying to Seville and having the add-on there. The Alcazar in Seville was the highlight and we were glad we booked our tickets online in advance because the queue is long otherwise. The Cathedral is also very interesting. The bus from Seville Airport was good and cheap but the stops were confusing on the trip in and are a long walk from the hotel. You may prefer to get a taxi from the airport. 

    Grazalema is very pretty with spectacular mountain scenery and vultures and other birds of prey all around. We had a lovely sunny week and found there were more than enough walks in the pack at the appropriate level to do. We would also recommend the walks in the 2018 Cicerone guide to the Mountains of Ronda and Grazalema. We were impressed with the quality of and interpretation on the footpaths. We particularly enjoyed walking into the reserve to see the ancient pine forest and a day in Ronda. Both restaurants were good and reasonably priced. 
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • We sincerely hope that your holiday experience will be as enjoyable as it would have been before the pandemic – walking holidays are ideal in these times of social distancing, and we’re not operating holidays if the key highlights can no longer be delivered – but, naturally, there will be some changes to ensure your and other people’s safety.

  • We’ll send you route notes and maps 2-3 weeks before your holiday. The route notes not only contain directions to get from hotel to hotel, but also include practical information about places of interest and eateries along each route, plus cultural information about the area. If/when you are moving between hotels, you leave your luggage in reception as you leave, and it will be transferred ahead to your next accommodation, meaning that all you need to take with you are a camera, sun cream, drinks, food and waterproofs.

    For more detailed information, see our walking holidays in Europe page.
  • We can book a wide range of airlines and routes from the UK. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. For Europe, there’s a £35 booking fee per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). For India and Nepal, the booking fee is £60 per person. More information on flights >
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact Abi and Lizzie to discuss your plans.
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    You don’t have to take out our recommended travel insurance policy (if you live outside the UK you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    We'll ask you for the details of your policy (insurer, policy number and medical emergency phone number) so that we can help out if the worst happens while you are on holiday. It's up to you, though, to check that your policy covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs; we don't check alternative policies.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Spain, but not a visa. If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • (Castilian) Spanish is one of several official languages; in Catalonia, for example, Catalan has equal status. The currency is the Euro. Spanish time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.

We are entirely confident that you will continue to receive the usual warm welcome from them, regardless of what is happening in the European political sphere.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.

  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved.
