그라잘레마‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

서쪽에서 Simancon을 오르는 것은 쉽고 꽤 재미있었습니다. Reloj도 마찬가지입니다. 운 좋게도 매우 맑은 날이어서 Sierra Nevada의 Mulhacén까지 그리고 아프리카 일부까지 볼 수 있었습니다. 그러나 Simancon에서 내려오는 것은 전혀 쉽지 않았습니다. 특정 경로를 찾기 어려웠고 매우 조심해야 합니다.

You need a permit to do the hike. It can be found through the process on this website https://grazalemaguide.com/blog/how-to-get-a-permission-for-restricted-footpaths-in-the-sierra-de-grazalema/

Puerto de las Presillas is a very popular trail in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park in Andalusia. This route offers stunning views of the Sierra del Endrinal and allows you to observe unique geological formations, such as sharp ridges and hollows, created by the dissolution of limestone rock.

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!

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!

The cave was created out of necessity. The Sierra del Algarrobo blocks the Gaduares River, forcing the river to erode the rocks to find a way out. The resulting cave complex is nothing short of spectacular. The Cueva del Gato, 17 meters wide and 25 meters high, offers an eroded natural space, where the Gaduares River resurfaces and joins the Guadiaro River. The main pass is over 4 km long. During the drier seasons, 25 individual lakes appear within the cave complex. The longest of these is the so-called Storm Cape and is 114 meters long. The lakes can only be crossed by swimming. The cave has a length of just over 8 km, but you are not allowed to enter.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.
