IMAGE NUMBER 210a
Located in a high valley over 800m in the Sierra del Endrinal and dominated by the rocky outcrop known as Peñon Grande, the pretty mountain village of Grazalema is a popular base for visitors to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. The park is a vast protected area of rugged limestone mountains, which are famous for being the rainiest place in Spain. In the heart of the village is an attractive main square, the Plaza de España, lined with bars and restaurants. On this square is Grazalema´s central sight, the 18th-century church of La Aurora. Also here is the village hall and the parish church, the Iglesia de la Encarnación.
