Grazalema, Andalucia
Nestling in a valley, towered over by the giant rock, Penon Grande, in the stunningly beautiful Sierra de Grazalema natural park (declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO), with its rugged mountains, deep gorges and lush forests, Grazalema is quite rightly named one of Spain’s prettiest villages.
Dating back to prehistoric times, occupied by the Romans (it even has an intact Roman road leading to its centre) and Arabs (Berbers) and Christians, it’s a village of churches and fountains (eleven in all!), narrow cobbled streets, bright flower filled balconies and spectacular views.
At one time the hub of the textile industry in the area, it still prides itself on its woollen blankets and shawls made at the local textile factory and displayed at the textile museum in the village.
Well known for its excellent goat’s cheese “queso cabra Payoyo” and for its mountain cuisine of tasty, slow cooked stews and game dishes, you certainly won’t feel cold or go hungry here!
A paradise for walkers and nature lovers and bird watchers (210 bird species have been registered here), it inevitably sees its fair share of visitors, but once night falls, the peace and quiet is magical.
