A historic lime kiln in the middle of the impressive mountain landscape of the Sierra de Grazalema is a reminder of the traditional production of quicklime, which was mainly used in the past as a building material and for whitewashing the typical Andalusian houses. In such kilns, limestone was burned at high temperatures to obtain the quicklime needed for further processing. An interesting testimony to the regional history of craftsmanship, which shows how closely people were connected to the natural resources of this karst landscape in the past. 🪨🔥🏡🇪🇸
