Hiking
Hiking is an acitvity that is fun for everybody. You do not need much equipment nor much experience.
We recommend you to bring hiking or sports shoes and a small backpack.
There are hikes in different length and degrees of difficulty in the natural parks (Parque Natural Sierra de Grazalema and Parque Natural de los Alcornocales). You will have the wonderful occasion to get to know the flora and fauna of this region with its rich variety of species.
If you are lucky, you can see deer, roes, mountain goats, and many predators such as civets, otters, foxes and the endemic vultures which form one of the biggest colonies of Europe in this region. For watching them it is worthwhile to bring a binocular.
Our guided hiking tours are always a great experience as they bring enchanting sights, healthy outdoor exercise and a lot of fun within the group.
