The Torreón or del Pinar peak is the highest prominence in the entire province of Cádiz. From its 1654 meters high there is an incredible 360º view. At the foot are the Pinsapar, the Llanos de Rabel and the Green Throat. On the other side is the sea, where the Rock of Gibraltar and the African coast stand out. Other outstanding points are the summits of Simancón, del Reloj and San Cristóbal, the Zahara de la Sierra reservoir and the Sierra del Caíllo.

Hiking

The top of El Torreón at 1654 meters above sea level is one of the panoramic points with the best views of the entire Sierra de Grazalema Park. The ascent from the parking lot next to the road is the most direct way to reach the top and the route is very picturesque although in sections it can be somewhat demanding and technical.

Mountaineering

What a great view - 360°! The path here is steep but well maintained! Unfortunately, you can only get to the summit with a (free) permit (approx. 20 people/day) - register in advance! - . From the north, El Torreon is a steep wall, from the southwest: a real mountain path! It's worth it!
