Description

Context The Sierra de Grazalema, located in Andalusia, is a designated Natural Park renowned for its rich biodiversity and ancient stands of pinsapo (Spanish fir) forests. This protected area features dramatic gorges and rivers such as the Majaceite, where the diversity of endemic and migratory bird species is particularly high. The van route covers 14.6 km of clearly marked, wheelchair-accessible paths, enabling comfortable, low-effort contact with nature for visitors with limited mobility.

The experience Traveling from the comfort of an adapted van, you’ll journey through forested trails and deep gorges, listening to the gentle flow of the river and the songs of woodland birds. Strategic stops are made at key vantage points to observe raptors and forest-dwelling species, and a visit to Villaluenga del Rosario includes a tasting of local Payoyo cheese. Fresh mountain air and the scent of thyme enhance the journey, which lasts between 2 and 3 hours.

For whom This activity is ideal for people with reduced mobility, families with young children, birdwatching enthusiasts, and older adults seeking a low-impact, nature-based experience. It is not suitable for those who prefer off-road or physically demanding activities.

Local context The Sierra de Grazalema is home to rural communities that preserve traditional practices, including the artisanal production of Payoyo cheese. The whitewashed villages visited maintain their historic architecture and cultural heritage, blending harmoniously with the Mediterranean landscape where nature and history coexist.
