Our first day walk takes us on a pleasant circular stroll around the basin of Grazalema village. A fine day for spotting raptors soaring high or getting down to earth and discovering the hundreds of wild flowers and herbs at our feet. We pass ancient farmsteads, ruined mills and craggy peaks before settling under the shade of a cork tree for one of Adventurebug’s unique Tapas Picnics with local wine.

Our walk ends along the river at Benamahoma and we’ll have a short transfer by local bus back to Grazalema.
