Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is a stunning natural treasure located between the provinces of Cadiz and Malaga in Andalusia, Spain. This park is renowned for its exceptional rainfall, making it one of the wettest places on the Iberian Peninsula. This abundant moisture supports a lush and diverse ecosystem, including one of Spain’s most impressive karst landscapes with extensive cave systems and deep gorges like the Garganta Verde.

The park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, highlighting its global ecological significance. It’s home to a variety of flora, including the rare Spanish fir and extensive cork oak forests. Fauna is also rich here, with species like griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, and a significant colony of bats inhabiting its many caves.

For visitors, the park offers a range of activities from hiking and bird watching to exploring quaint white villages (Pueblos Blancos) like Grazalema and Zahara de la Sierra. These villages are known for their picturesque beauty and traditional Andalusian architecture.
