Nature experience in Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park
Why it’s interesting? On this tour you can get to know the pinsapar, a unique Spanish fir forest that appears exclusively in Andalusia. You can see up close the special forest of pinsapos located in the Sierra del Pinar, where this species of fir has found one of its last shelters to survive.
We will access this unique area via a track that runs parallel to the Pinar stream in the middle of a varied Mediterranean vegetation formed by holm oaks, lentisks and olivillas, with the occasional Gall oak in the shady areas. On the way you will enjoy the views of the Sierra del Pinar, where the silhouette of El Torreón stands out at 1,648 m, the highest point in the province of Cádiz, and with the sighting of the griffon vultures over our heads, which nest in the nearby walls of the Green Throat, making this one of the biggest colonies in Europe.
