A different kind of mountain range in southern Spain
Sierra de Grazalema is one of the wettest spots on the Iberian Peninsula because it receives the southwest Atlantic squalls, which together with its karst geology make this corner of rugged topography one of the most complex and attractive in Andalusia. The mountain range is full of caves, shelters, escarpments, canyons, sinkholes and poljes. In addition, archaeology and history lovers will be fascinated by the mysterious cave paintings of schematic art that some of the caves shelter, as well as the Roman ruins, Islamic fortifications, medieval hermitages, imposing mansions and the ancient traditions that still survive thanks to its people.
