Day 8th May: NATURAL PARK SIERRA DE GRAZALEMA
LEVEL A. HIKE TO SIMANCON PEAK (11 KM, +800m/-800m)
This route invites us to discover one of the most characterful mountain ranges in Andalusia, the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. From its heights, hikers can enjoy panoramic views of the Gaditan landscape, including the ascent to Simancón Peak (1,569 m), one of the most emblematic summits in the park, offering spectacular 360° views over the Sierra de Grazalema and the surrounding valleys. The itinerary combines two signposted trails that start near the village of Grazalema: the Puerto de las Presillas Trail and the Camino de los Charcones Trail. Both meet at Puerto del Boyar, allowing you to ascend one path and descend the other — a circular route that reveals a wide range of landscapes and environments. Dinner and overnight in Grazalema.

It is a comprehensive, diverse hike—ideal for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and anyone interested in history and mountain traditions. Adding to its appeal is the area’s rich ethnographic heritage, preserved through the traditional knowledge of local shepherds and mountain inhabitants. Along the way, you’ll see ancient ice pits, lime kilns, threshing floors, and watering troughs, silent witnesses to life in these mountains. Dinner and overnight in Grazalema.

The ascent to Picacho, the iconic peak of Los Alcornocales Natural Park, offers an up-close view of the Aljibe mountain range, the province's second-highest at 882 metres, much of which will be visible to us. The moderate difficulty of the climb is especially offset by views of much of the Cádiz province: Alcalá de los Gazules, Barbate, Vejer de la Frontera, and the neighbouring Sierra de Grazalema.
