All hiked out in Grazalema

Today, for the first time the weather was like I expected: Rather cool in the morning, so that you still need a jumper, but quickly getting warmer so that you can set out for a hike at 10.00 a.m. in a short-sleeved shirt. And that is exactly what I did today.

First, I hiked up to the very pass which I went across yesterday evening by car, and again enjoyed the good views.

After that, I hiked the Sendero de Salto de Cabrero: First along the mountain side, then down onto a small plateau (where the Salto de Cabrero, a stone-, not a waterfall, is located), and on to the small village of Benaocaz. On the way, you regularly see some grazing animals, like horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, goats – and even pigs!

Orignally, I planned to return from Benaocaz to Grazalema by bus. However, due to a rally, the bus was not going today, and I had to hike back on foot. Therefore, after hiking seven-and-a-half hours of hiking over a distance of slightly more than 27.5 km, I am quite exhausted.

I am almost looking forward to spending most of tomorrow sitting (in the car, at the airport, and in the plane) – I am returning home again. Time for a quick wrap-up: My time in Andalusia was short, but very enjoyable. However, if it had not been for today, I would have to add: The next time, I am going to Spain for some warm sunshine in April, I am flying to the Canary Islands!

  1. Wow, Hut ab, 27.5km und das auch noch in 7.5 Stunden und komplett ungeplant, eine coole Sache… Da wäre ich gern dabei gewesen :)!

    1. Ja, zumindest auf den letzten Kilometern hätte ich moralische Unterstützung auf jeden Fall nötig gehabt! 😉 Aber auch abgesehen davon bist du natürlich immer herzlich willkommen.
