The summit of Simancón, at 1566 meters high, is one of the most sought after in the Grazalema mountain range. From here there is an unbeatable view of the Sierra del Pinar, which has its highest point at 1648 meters, on the Torreón peak. On very clear days you can see the Serranía de Ronda, the Sierra de las Nieves and Sierra Nevada, as well as the relief of North Africa.

An interesting ascent/descent to the summit, pathless with beautiful friction plates (if you can find them: occasionally small yellow arrows on the rock), but hands are not needed, if the visibility is good: fantastic!

On the ascent to the Simancon, it is also worthwhile to go a little cross-country over furrowed limestone rocks spiced with easy climbing.
