A land of jagged limestone peaks, deep gorges and lush green mountain pastures. Begin in the brilliant white village of Zahara de la Sierra, perched on a crag at the base of the Grazalema mountains. Enjoy a walk through two wild and remote valleys, keeping your eyes peeled for deer and griffon vultures.

Walk on paths through cork oak forests and secluded valleys to the captivating white villages of Benaocaz, Benaojan and Montejaque with their exotic Moorish influences.
