Sierra de CádizLos Pueblos Blancos Located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, and in the far south-west of Andalusia, Sierra de Cadiz-Pueblos Blancos County, in the province of Cadiz, can be reached from the Bay area and the Costa del Sol along the A382, and from Seville via the A473.

It is blessed with a pleasant climate of hot summers and mild winters; however, in the Sierra de Grazalema (Biosphere Reserve) there is a microclimate which is characterised by high levels of rainfall, the highest level in Spain.

Its white towns with their Al-Andalus urban design and valuable archaeological remains which cling to the slopes of the mountains are a genuine alternative to the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, as well as an invitation to enjoy Nature. This is why it is one of the favourite destinations of Rural Tourism lovers.

Its wide range of active tourism activities, set against the background of two protected natural spaces (Grazalema and Alcornocales), a cuisine created from the produce of the land, the festivals and traditions all with true local flavour come together to make up the sum of the many attractions in this part of Cadiz.

Cultural Crossroads A region which has been inhabited since the most ancient of times, the Sierra de Cadiz boasts an incomparable archaeological heritage, with remains dating from between the Lower Palaeolithic times (250,000 years ago) to the Granadine-Castilian fortifications from the Middle Ages, and include important Iberian and Roman settlements.

There are still some remains of the prehistoric population in the Cuevas de la Manga (De La Manga Caves) in Villaluenga del Rosario and megalithic monuments as significant as the Alberite Dolmen in Villamartín, the El Charcón Dolmen at El Gastor, the Tomillo Dolmens in Alcalá del Valle and the prehistoric Fuente de Ramos necropolis at Puerto Serrano.

With the Roman Empire, the area reached great levels of prosperity, as is evidenced by the numerous remains dotted around the county. Besides the archaeological site in the Sierra de Aznar at Arcos de la Frontera, with its impressive “Castellum Aquae” and the remains of the Roman Road, there are THE SPLENDOUR OF THE EMPIRE. The Romans were the great craftsmen behind the current layout of the land in the Sierra de Cadiz, providing the region with its main means of communication (which are still visible today near villages such as Villaluenga del Rosario).

the ancient Ibero-Roman towns of Iptuci at Prado del Rey, Ocuri at Ubrique (with remains of the walls, necropolis and forum) and Carissa Aurelia at Espera (with its impressive hypogea, or underground tombs), as well as the important Cerro de la Botinera site in Algodonales.

The long-lasting Islamic presence in the area left its distinctive mark on both the appearance and culture of the towns and villages in the Sierra. There are still fortresses (Zahara de la Sierra, Olvera, Setenil de las Bodegas, Arcos de la Frontera, Bornos, Ubrique, Villamartín...) and walled towns (Benaocaz, Torre Alháquime...) which witnessed the intense struggles for the frontier, and were also used later on by the Christians. After the ‘Reconquista’, the latter built churches, magnificent manor houses and civil buildings, examples of all possible architectural styles. The ten Historical Sites to be found in the county are the proof of this wealth of monuments.

THE BANDIT LIFESTYLE. In the 19th century, abject poverty amongst the lowest social classes gave rise to the phenomenon known as ‘bandolerismo’ throughout Andalusia, and the Sierra de Cadiz was no exception. One famous bandit was José María el Tempranillo, who, despite having been born in Cordoba province, carried out many forays into the region: a son of his was born at Torre Alháquime and there is a museum in El Gastor in the house where his sweetheart lived and he spent long periods of time.

Popular architecture The marked Al-Andalus inheritance has deeply influenced the physiognomy of the towns and villages in the Sierra de Cadiz, providing them with a unique, characteristic architectural style, allowing the visitor to become completely submerged in the past.

The whitewashed walls are a recurrent theme running from one town to another, as they share the typical architecture of low houses set in steep, narrow, winding streets with their characteristic cleanliness, neatness, order and utter attention to even the smallest of details. The geraniums hanging from the windows imbue these Andalusian-style houses with a blaze of colour, as they shine brightly in the sun. Their layout and shape mirror those of houses in neighbouring Morocco.

SCULPTED ON ROCK. Setenil de las Bodegas boasts an original urban design, as its houses have been built either inside the rocks or on top of them, blessing the village with great beauty and individuality.

6 - Sierra de Cรกdiz

Each of these mountainside hamlets has a deep-rooted whitewashing tradition which goes back as far as the earliest generations.

The buildings, sometimes perched on rocky projections, extend the white of the lime whitewash out over the rocks themselves, creating wonderful sculptures which change shape depending on the time of day.

Water, ever-present in this area, also has a starring role in urban design in these towns and villages. At their drinking-fountains, you can quench your thirst with the freshest, cleanest mountain spring water.

The sierra is also studded with unique buildings, the majority of which have fallen into disuse but are conserved in perfect condition. This is the case of the oil mills and mills, some of which are water mills with mill ponds. There are also horse-mills for well-water and mills with waterwheels for river-water.

Furthermore, there is a wide choice of types of accommodation (rural cottages, inns, old mills, farmhouses and mountain refuges), which have been renovated and perfectly fitted out, so that those with a love of simplicity and peacefulness can enjoy this outstanding area for some days.

The roofs of the homes, most of which are gabled and tiled in various shades of ochre and dotted with white chimneys, provide a particular townscape which is typical of this region.

Sierra de Cรกdiz - 7

Ancestral traditions A good way to learn about the roots of a people is by looking at their traditions. This region is characterised by customs related to the professions which its inhabitants have occupied since Ancient Times, professions such as grazing and cattle-farming. A familiar sight in the fields or on the farms is that of a herd of goats being led by their goatherd. There is also the pig-slaughtering season, when sausages and cold cuts are made by hand. These pork products will become the pièce de résistance in the cuisine of the local bars and restaurants.

Another great tradition in the area is that of olive growing, with ancient oil mills which still produce excellent oils. In fact, the Sierra de Cadiz can even boast oil bearing its name and with a Denominación de Origen (Designation of Origin).

BLANKETS FROM GRAZALEMA. This town is specialised in the weaving of the blankets for saddles, for beds, travel blankets and ordinary blankets in general.

Furthermore, they also make shepherds’ blankets here, and even sackcloth for the Hermanitas de la Cruz nuns.

8 - Sierra de Cádiz

The great importance of the bull in these parts is apparent in the bullrings (particularly that of Villaluenga del Rosario, which is the oldest in the province) and the cattle farms breeding fighting bulls, such as the one in Arcos de la Frontera. What’s more, the bull is the main element in many of the festivals in the province, which include letting bulls loose in the square, “bull-running” etc...

We can also admire the area’s cultural and historical background in the local museums situated in the different towns in the Sierra.

Apart from those that have archaeological rooms with interesting pieces, there are also

those which deal exclusively with craft and ethnographic traditions: the “Olvera. The Frontier and the Castles” Museum, the Museum of Textile Crafts in Grazalema, the Historical Town Museum of Villamartín, the History Museum of the Sierra de Cadiz in Benaocaz and the Archaeological Museum in Espera, amongst others.

Flamenco is also of great importance here, as in the rest of the province. Numerous flamenco social clubs and festivals such as the National Competition of Flamenco ‘Serrana’ Singing which is held in Prado del Rey, take place in the Sierra de Cadiz.

Using techniques which in many cases date back to days gone by, and a wide range of all kinds of materials such as textiles, leather, earthen-ware, cane, wicker, wood etc.., the area’s craftsmen offer a great variety of authentic, high quality products.

One of the most outstanding crafts is fine leatherwork, which is based in Ubrique, as well as Prado del Rey and Villamartín. Wicker and cane crafts are particularly renowned in Setenil de las Bodegas and Bornos, while ceramics are the speciality in Arcos de la Frontera; with respect to musical instruments, the main exponents are the guitars to be found in Algodonales and the pipes in El Gastor. The wide range of crafts is completed by the baskets and espadrilles in Torre Alháquime, the riding boots in Espera, and the crafted furniture in Prado del Rey.

UBRIQUE, CAPITAL OF LEATHER. Ubrique constitutes today Europe’s number one concentration of craftsmen’s workshops devoted to leatherwork. Some of the world’s most important fashion names such as Loewe, Cartier, Dunhill, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Balmain and Nina Ricci have put their trust in the quality of the products manufactured using sheepskin, goatskin and cow-skin by the people of Ubrique. A large part of the production is exported to European countries, the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan, either by the labels mentioned above or by local makes which are the bright future of Ubrique.

For the more active The privileged natural environment of the Sierra de Cadiz is the ideal place to try out all kinds of active tourism activities, keeping in contact with Mother Nature.

A hill-walking visit to the natural parks of the Sierra de Grazalema and Los Alcornocales is one of the best ways to discover the numerous plains and gorges, caves and narrow passes of the region; lose yourself in the heart of the forests of Spanish blue fir, or contemplate the vastness of the countryside from the top of its peaks, admiring the flight of the lion vultures. Always with the gentle murmur of waterfalls and streams in the background. Routes like those of Llanos del Republicano, Garganta Verde and Salto del Cabrero (Goatsherd Leap) can be tried either on foot, on mountain bike, or even on horseback.

VÍA VERDE DE LA SIERRA. This route runs along the Sendas Verdes (the Green Paths), which follow the route of the old railway line from Jerez to Almargen, and offer 35 kilometres of negotiable footpath from the village of Puerto Serrano to Olvera.

The route, which offers a multitude of open air activities, boasts significant water resources such as the river Guadalete and Guadalporcún, and unique landscapes like the lion vulture colony at Peñón de Zaframagón.

10 - Sierra de Cádiz

For lovers of risk-sports, this county also has plenty to offer. It brings together the perfect conditions for air sports (hang-gliding, paragliding, ultra-lights) which are very popular here thanks to the numerous areas for free-flying: Sierra de Albarracín (near Benamahoma), Puerto de las Palomas, Sierra de Líjar... In fact, Algodonales hosted the World Air Games in the year 2001.

Climbing fans have various routes at their disposal, for either free-climbing or aid climbing, so they can enjoy this sport to the

maximum, in Puerto de las Palomas, Peñaloja, el Peñón Grande, el Cintillo or la Verdilla. Canyoning is another appealing option in the Garganta Verde and the Garganta de Buitreras.

Watersports lovers won’t be disappointed either, as they can go fishing, kayaking or sailing on the numerous rivers and reservoirs, such as that at Guadalcacín II (Algar), Bornos Lake and Arcos Lake, which each have a Sailing Club. In the village of El Bosque there is also the southern-most trout fishing stretch of river in Europe.

POT-HOLING. Sportsmen know Villaluenga del Rosario as a pot-holing paradise, as its terrain is home to more than 80 caves and three of the four most important chasms in Andalusia: Sima del Cacao, Los Republicanos Chasm and Villaluenga Chasm. Others are to be found within the Grazalema Nature Reserve and the boroughs of Ubrique, Zahara de la Sierra, Grazalema, Benaocaz...

Sierra de Cádiz - 11

Natural Paradise The majority of the land in this county is part of Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (with the Cerro de El Torreón, the highest point in the province) and Los Alcornocales Natural Park, as well as other highly valuable, protected areas such as Peñón de Zaframagón (Zaframagón Rock) and the Espera Endorheic Basins Nature Reserves or the unspoilt areas of the Bornos Reservoir Beauty Spot and the Arcos Reservoir Beauty Spot.

The Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco, has its own specific microclimate thanks to its high level of rainfall (the highest in the Iberian Peninsula), and this is the factor which most influences the wealth of flora and fauna, as well as its unique morphology.

ESPERA ENDORHEIC BASINS. A Nature Reserve made up of the Dulce de Zorrilla, Salada de Zorrilla and Hondilla lagoons (in the Sierra de Gibalbín).

These wetlands possess the flora and fauna typical of wet areas.

12 - Sierra de Cádiz

the Spanish blue fir, a species of fir tree only found in Western Europe, endemic to the Serranía de Ronda and a relic of the Caenozoic Tertiary Era. Sheltered from the sun within the Sierra del Pinar, between Grazalema and Benamahoma, there is a magnificent Spanish blue fir forest, currently the best-conserved in the world.

The Sierra de Grazalema also provides a habitat for the local fauna, with birds of prey particularly significant in this area, and one of the largest colonies of lion vultures in Europe is to be found here, along with one of the largest colonies of cave bats in Continental Europe (in the Hundidero-Gato Complex).

This is the highest mountain range with the most crags in the province of Cadiz; it is also an example of karst topography with sheer-walled valleys, caves, chasms, caverns, cornices, and scree-slopes. These create landscapes of incredible beauty such as the Garganta Verde, the Salto del Cabrero or the Puerto de los Acebuches.

The Alcornocales Natural Park (formed by the boroughs of Arcos de la Frontera, Ubrique, Algar, El Bosque, Prado del Rey and San José del Valle) contains the largest cork-tree forest in the Iberian Peninsula and one of the largest in the world. Its natural appeal does not end here, as it also harbours some exceptional areas of river flora which are capable of transporting us to subtropical regions no longer found in present-day continental Europe.

The great botanical wealth of the park is evident in its vast areas of Mediterranean forest, river vegetation, and in its endemic species like the Grazalema poppy and the toadflax.

Particularly worthy of mention is the Pinsapo,

These mountain ranges host a great wealth of birds of prey, boasting up to some 18 species.

The species best-adapted to this type of forest are the booted eagle, the short-toed eagle, the goshawk, the sparrowhawk and the tawny owl.

PEÑÓN DE ZAFRAMAGÓN. Situated in the foothills of the Serranía de Grazalema, between Olvera and Coripe, this area, declared a Natural Reserve, is noteworthy for its outstanding crag. This area is also a characteristic example of karst topography, in particular the Estrechón Gorge cleaved into the rock by the River Guadalporcún.

The fauna in the area is also of great significance, as it is home to the largest colony of nesting lion vultures in Western Andalusia and one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula.

The flavours of the land The cuisine of the Sierra de Cadiz, another of its tourist attractions, is to a great extent the consequence of the melting pot of cultures which have cohabited the area: the Islamic, Jewish and Christian cultures. Their long-lasting occupation here has left traditions and customs in their wake, along with ways of producing succulent, healthy dishes made with the excellent fruits of the land.

cal and popular dish of all is the ‘cocido de matanza’ or ‘slaughter stew’, made with chickpeas, white beans and pork products from the slaughter of the pig, which is still carried out in many households.

Cakes and pastries are another of the culinary specialities of the Sierra de Cadiz, with a very

The main ingredients in the ‘serrana’ cuisine are of the highest quality, particularly in the case of the olive oil with its Designation of Origin “Sierra de Cadiz” which provides the dishes with a special touch. Also on the list of ingredients are the excellent produce from its vegetable plots, orchards and countryside; the delicious meat, sausages and ham from the Iberian pigs and of course the handmade cheeses, including the most famous of the Sierra cheeses, the ‘payoyo’.

And we mustn’t forget the country loaves of bread and the soft ‘mollete’ bread rolls, famous throughout the province.

The county is not without its fish either, as there are trout fishing areas, and fish farms in towns like Benamahoma, which also provide delicious trout.

GAME. The wealth of game in the area has led to the creation of exquisite dishes with game as the main ingredient: pheasant, venison, partridge, rabbit... all cooked in traditional fashion. Rice with rabbit is just one of the delights served in the bars and restaurants of the Sierra de Cadiz.

Amongst the typical dishes of the Pueblos Blancos are: all kinds of cooked asparagus, golden thistles, garlic or tomato soup, hearty farmhouse soups, the typical aubergine and squash ratatouille, snails, potted pork, chickpea stew, free-range chicken, pork with honey, flaked Iberian pork and many more. But perhaps the most typiclear influence from the Al-Andalus tradition.

Examples of these sweets are the fried lemon, sesame and cinnamon pastries or ‘gañotes’, ‘pestiños’ or honey pastries, egg pasties, doughnuts, honeyed French toast, Easter buns, goat’s cheesecake, meringues, pine kernel toffee cakes...

WINE. A young, white, slightly fruity wine has appeared recently in the province of Cadiz, and little by little it is making its way to the tables of households all around Spain. Arcos de la Frontera is one of the main producers of this quality drink.

Alcalá del Valle

Algar

Situated in a valley between Málaga and Cadiz, its popular architecture maintains a strong Arabic air, with its streets of whitewashed houses and balconies overflowing with flowers.

Located between the Natural Parks of the Sierra de Grazalema and Los Alcornocales, its name means ‘cave’ in Arabic, which undoubtedly comes from the numerous cavities in the rock in the surrounding area.

Although the site has been occupied since Prehistory, the current village was founded by the Muslims who had been living in Setenil de las Bodegas and who, in 1484, requested the permission of the Catholic Monarchs to settle as vassals in a nearby valley. There, where it would seem that a fortress had been built, they built their town, giving it the name of Al kalat (‘castle’ in Arabic).

Populated since Neolithic times, as can be seen from the archaeological site at Cueva de la Dehesilla, the founding of the current town was the work of a rich merchant who, after a turbulent journey overseas, created a colony in 1773 on land he had acquired.

Amongst its principal monuments the Baroque Church of Santa María del Valle, the Cortijo de la Cacería (a 16th century farmhouse) which looks like a palace and the Cristo de la Misericordia Hermitage are particularly noteworthy. Water, the main natural resource in this white town, is present in all its artistic forms. Examples of this are to be found at the old Franciscan Convent of Caños Santos and the Fuente Grande (the Great Fountain).

THE TOMILLO DOLMENS. This Megalithic treasure is situated near the town, in a beauty spot dotted with fountains, springs and streams. The main attraction is a menhir, which is unique amongst the groups of dolmens in the province.

16 - Sierra de Cádiz

Apart from its cuisine, with the asparagus as the main ingredient, there are some unique traditions such as the ‘Carrerita de San Juan’ during Easter Week which has been declared of National Tourist Interest.

Its artistic heritage is represented by the Parish Church of Santa María de Guadalupe and the Town Hall, both of which are neoClassical, and the Bullring.

Given its privileged location, there are many leisure options on offer for visitors to the town, from game-hunting (as is reflected in the local cuisine) to hill-walking in the Tajo del Águila, one of the most important rural tourism complexes on the province.

A compulsory date for your agenda is the Subida a Algar Rally, which draws many fans of cars and motor-racing every year.

WATER SPORTS. Fishing fans will be delighted with the River Majaceite, while the Guadalcacín II reservoir offers kayaking, sailing and a beach right in the heart of the Sierra de Cadiz.

Sierra de Cádiz - 17

Algodonales

Arcos de la Frontera

Nestling in the shade of the Sierra de Líjar, this enchanting ‘white town’ is to be found at the crossroads of the roads between Ronda, Seville and Jerez de la Frontera.

Gateway to the Pueblos Blancos Route, Arcos is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. From the rocky outcrop on which its immaculate white houses sit, there are spectacular views of stud farms and farms breeding fighting bulls, and of the orchards of orange and almond trees, vines and olive trees which surround them and produce high quality wine and oil.

Although the human presence in the area goes back to Neolithic times, as is confirmed by sites at Cueva Santa, Chamusquina, Castillejo and el Cerro de la Botinera, the origins of the current settlement go back to the repopulation which took place in the 16th century.

BIRD’S EYE VIEW. Thanks to its privileged location and climate, Algodonales has become a sanctuary for air sports lovers. The Sierra de Líjar offers take-off sites into almost all the winds with altitudes of between 1,500 and 4,000 metres.

The most important of its monuments is the Parish Church of Santa Ana, a late Baroque style building with neo-Classical elements, which looks onto a beautiful square.

The hermitages of Jesús Nazareno and La Virgencita (the setting for a traditional Romería procession in May), both dating from the 19th century, are also worth a visit.

Situated on the edge of the town, we can also visit the Hermitage of La Concepción (18th century) and the Flour Mills.

Its streets, which were built to make the most of the rainwater, are shaded by orange trees, and tinkle to the murmur of its twelve fountains, including the Algarrobo Fountain.

If you have the time, the district of La Muela is worth a visit to watch the lion vultures in flight, from the peaks of the Sierra de Líjar.

18 - Sierra de Cádiz

There are traces of the first prehistoric settlers and of the Romans at the Sierra de Aznar Archaeological Site. But the people the town owes its relief and current layout to are the Muslims, as the town reached such a level of prominence under their rule that it became an independent Taifa Kingdom.

Walking along the incredibly narrow, steep streets and under the archways that act as flying buttresses to the parishes, the visitor enters the Historical Centre, declared a Historical Site, where the Castillo de los Duques has been conserved, a castle of Arabic construction but whose current structure dates from the 15th century. This fortress acted as the residence of the Taifa monarchs of Arcos.

ARCOS LAKE. Only a few kilometres from the town, there is a lake which offers visitors the chance to try their hand at various water sports. The tail of this reservoir has been declared a Beauty Spot.

In clear contrast to the Matrera Gateway (11th-14th century) and the remains of the walled town, there are Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque façades on the palaces and

Sierra de Cádiz - 19

manor houses: that of the Conde del Águila, of Don Álvaro de Valdespino, of the Mayorazgo Palace... Another beautiful example of its civil architecture is the Town Hall.

This ‘serrana’ town also possesses a vast religious heritage, with the Santa María Basilica (Renaissance and Baroque from the 16th-18th century) at the top of the list. As a point of curiosity, it is worth mentioning the magic circle on the Plateresque façade, which is unique in all of Andalusia. It is said that it was put there to exorcise converts on their way to be baptised. Also of interest are the churches of San Pedro (with an antique altarpiece), San Francisco, and San Juan de Dios and Misericordia Chapel, besides the convents of Las Mercedarias, San Agustín, la Encarnación and la Caridad.

HILL-WALKING. If you wish to stay immersed in this town’s past and at the same time enjoy its landscapes, there is nothing better than a walk along the Roman Road which connects ancient Ocuri (Ubrique) with Lacílbula (Grazalema), and is still walkable. There are many other footpaths and routes for hill-walking, such as those of Los Nacimientos, the ascent to Caillo, the Salto del Cabrero and Las Buitreras de la Otrera where there is a colony of vultures and their nests.

All these places of worship house valuable images which are paraded through the streets of the town during Easter Week as part of a festival which has been declared of National Tourist Interest.

Other relevant monuments are the Aznalmara Castle (13th-14th century), the San Pedro Apóstol Parish Church, a beautiful Renaissance structure dating from the 16th century, the Hermitages of El Calvario and San Blas, the Town Well, the Public Fountain and the Baroque style Town Hall.

Benaocaz

Bornos

Situated in the foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema, the whiteness of this hamlet starkly contrasts with the craggy mountains which serve as its backdrop. Although founded by Arabic peoples, the numerous archaeological remains, such as those of La Veredilla Chasm and the La Manga Caves, indicate that there were settlements here as far back as Prehistoric times. If the visitor calls in at the Historical Museum of the Sierra de Cadiz, they can immerse themselves completely in the history of this mountain town.

Situated on the shores of the lake beside which it has been quietly growing for over 30,000 years, Bornos has been declared a Historic Ensemble for its wealth of artistic heritage resulting from the coming together of different civilizations.

Declared a Historic Ensemble, the best way to get to know it is by strolling through the narrow

20 - Sierra de Cádiz

maze of streets in the Nazarí Quarter, which still conserve the original paving and are flanked by whitewashed houses with colourful flowerbeds. This Arabic flavour which impregnates the entire town contrasts with the nobility and ornamentation of the eighteenth century manor houses.

The shift from the Iberian culture to the Roman culture can be noted at the archaeological site of Carissa Aurelia, just a few kilometres from the town centre. The current town was founded by the Arabs around the fortress of Fontanar, the origins of the present-day castle.

Sierra de Cádiz - 21

El Bosque The urban layout of the village is centred on its monumental jewel, the Los Ribera CastlePalace, declared Property of Cultural Interest.

A beautiful palace with a Renaissance garden which has been declared a Historical Garden of Cultural Interest were built over the Arabic building, of which remains of the wall and the Keep can still be seen.

Significant examples of the town’s civil architecture include, apart from the manor houses belonging to the Cilla (17th-18th century) and the Ordóñez family (18th century), the School and Hospital de la Sangre.

PARADISE FOR ACTIVE SPORTS. The mountains near Bornos are ideal for hill-walking, trekking, horsetrekking, and mountainbiking. Equally appealing are routes such as those of Los Molinos, El Vía Crucis, the stretch of the Vía Verde and the La Sierra and La Presa footpaths. Apart from fishing in the Bornos Reservoir, the visitor can also go bird-watching for waterfowl.

22 - Sierra de Cádiz

There is also a magnificent display of religious architecture, and in particular the Parish Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, dating from the 16th to 18th century, showing traces of its original Gothic style with a profusion of Baroque elements, the Corpus Christi Convent and the Jerónimos Monastery, both of which are 16th century.

At the heart of the Sierra de Albarracín, by the River Majaceite and surrounded by valleys, we find one of the most picturesque towns in the Sierra de Cadiz. Its white streets, dotted with fountains and flowers like the Callejón del Duque have been awarded the Province’s Best-Kept Village Prize.

The retreat of the Duques de Arcos de la Frontera (who had been given various hamlets in this area by the Catholic Monarchs), it was Fernando VII who finally conceded it the status of Village.

Its artistic legacy is made up of the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the Duke’s Palace, the Calvario Hermitage (both dating from the 18th century) and a unique, attractive Bullring. From an ethnological point of view, a visit to the Molino de Debajo Mill, dating from the 18th19th century is also of interest, as it retains its original hydraulic structure.

El Bosque is situated amidst leafy woods and is blessed with springs of medicinal water, making it the perfect environment for all kinds of nature activities. Those who enjoy hill-walking have a choice of paths like the river one which links the ‘serrana’ village with Benamahoma or the La Pedriza footpath.

HUNTING AND FISHING. The dense woods are a paradise for those who love to hunt, while fishing fans can catch trout in the River Majaceite, the southern-most trout fishing river in Europe. There is also a fish farm by the river which supplies the area’s bars and restaurants with delicious trout.

Sierra de Cádiz - 23

The area is also perfect for paragliding and hang-gliding, with a take-off pad on the Monte Albarracín where annual competitions take place.

The “El Castillejo” Botanic Garden, where all the main ecosystems in the Sierra de Grazalema are represented, and the ruins of Tavizna Castle, some 5 kilometres from El Bosque, are also two good options for places to visit.

El Gastor Sitting on a hill, very near the point at which the River Guadalete rises and bordering on the Serranía de Málaga mountains, this ‘serrana’ village known as the Balcony of the White Towns (el Balcón de los Pueblos Blancos) is found, earning its nickname from the marvellous panoramic views it affords of the neighbouring towns from its highest point.

Amongst the visits of interest, the most appealing are to the Church of San José (18th century), the Diego de El Gastor Fountain, the Hermanos Palomino Oil Mill and the Museum of Traditions and Customs, located in the home of the bandit José María El Tempranillo’s sweetheart, and which shows the way of life in the 19th century.

Just as pot-holers will have a wonderful time in caves like the Fariña or the Susto (with a deep trench and vast chamber full of stalactites and stalagmites), so will fans of water sports on the Zahara-El Gastor reservoir and hill-walkers in the Tajo de Algarín and las Grajas.

Amongst local crafts are the ‘gastoreña’ bagpipes and ‘pleitas’, woven reed plaits used, for example, in cheese-making, while Corpus Christi (Festival of National Tourist Interest) is the most popular, representative feast day.

Espera

Populated since Prehistoric times, as evidenced by the megalithic monuments found in the area, it was founded in the 16th century.

A typical Cadiz white town situated on the slopes of a hill crowned by the ruins of a castle which looks over the whole village, with its whitewashed streets and steep slopes.

It possesses the typical urban design of the ‘serrana’ villages with narrow winding streets, small white houses and windows with iron grilles hung festively with glorious geraniums.

The early presence of settlers is confirmed by the Archaeological Site at Esperilla, with remains which date back over 3,000 years. Just 7 kilometres from the village there is the ancient Roman town of Carissa Aurelia (Property of

EL CHARCÓN DOLMENS. In the area surrounding the village, significant archaeological remains have been found, such as the dolmens located near El Charcón, los Algarrobales and Algarín. You can also see the remains of ancient cultures in the Caves of Fariña and El Susto.

Cultural Interest), which was erected on the remains of an even earlier Iberian settlement.

The most important features are the necropolis and the walled town centre, and there is also an Archaeological Museum devoted particularly to the Burial World of Ibero-Roman Espera.

NATURE RESERVE. The Espera Endorheic Basins Nature Reserve, with 379 hectares of protected land, is located in the area of contact between the sedimentary areas of the Guadalquivir valley and the Baetica (or Guadalquivir) mountain ranges and is made up of three lagoons, whose water comes from the rain and from local underground streams: the lagoons are the Laguna Salada de Zorrilla, Laguna Hondilla and Laguna Dulce de Zorrilla.

Amongst the species to found in these parts are the white-headed duck, the redknobbed coot, the purple swamphen, the flamingo, the teal, the red shoveler, etc.

Amongst its legacy of monuments, particularly worthy of mention is the Fatetar Castle (13th-15th century) declared Property of Cultural Interest. It retains part of its original walls, the Keep and the water cisterns. Built against the castle walls is the Hermitage of Santiago, which houses the Cristo de la Antigua, patron of the town. The Santa María de Gracia Church is also interesting, as a symbiosis of Renaissance and Baroque styles, as is the Casa de la Cilla or de los Diezmos, nowadays used as an oil mill.

Grazalema In the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema there is one of the most beautiful and well-kept of the Cadiz ‘white towns’, with quiet streets bursting with flowers and roofs which are covered in snow in winter, thanks to the village’s particular microclimate (it boasts the highest rainfall index in the Iberian Peninsula).

la Giganta, the origins of Grazalema coincide with the Roman town of Lacílbula.

In the town centre, declared Artistic Historical Ensemble, the typical popular architecture is in perfect harmony with its monumental wealth. The jewel of the village’s heritage is the Baroque Nuestra Señora de la Aurora Church, which is accompanied by San José Church, Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación Parish Church, San Juan Church and the Hermitages of El Calvario and Los Ángeles. Famous for its traditional blankets, these are on display in the Museum of Textile Crafts along with the products of other craftsmen’s professions.

BENAMAHOMA. This beautiful village belonging to El Bosque and located in an area of incredible beauty was named after the Arabs Ben-Mahoma, the children of Mohammad.

The Islamic influence can be seen in the layout of the streets and in the constant presence of water. The Algarrobo Fountain, an ancient Arab cistern, is one of the most typical features of the town, along with the spring known as the Nacimiento and the Water Eco-museum. Its Moors and Christians festival is the only one of its type which still surviving in Western Andalusia.

Although there are traces of prehistoric settlements in the area, such as the Dolmen de

Its location inside the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park affords the visitor an infinite number of opportunities to enjoy mountain sports and activities related to active tourism.

Following the different routes created to link the village centres and within the heart of the Park itself, routes such as those of the Puerto del Boyar and the Presa del Fresnillo, one can enjoy the sight of the incredible fauna (lion vulture, golden eagle...) and flora, and in particular the Spanish Blue fir as a species of tree which has existed since the Caenozoic Tertiary Period.

Olvera

Classical jewel which retains remains of the original Gothic church) and the Castle, a Muslim fortress from the 12th century which still boasts walls, towers and the keep. Out on the outskirts, we find the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Sanctuary and the Caños Santos Convent.

Nearby, the Peñón de Zaframagón Natural Park is to be found, housing one of the largest colonies of lion vultures in Europe. You can also enjoy contact with nature in the Sierra de Líjar or by following the Vía Verde de la Sierra route, which is the old railway line used by hill-walkers and cyclists and goes right through the village.

Known in Roman times as Hippa or Hippo Nova, this ‘serrana’ village with its Arabic roots is situated at the foot of a crag crowned by an impressive castle.

NAZARÍ FRONTIER. A visit to the “Olvera. La Frontera y los Castillos” Museum, located in the magnificent Casa de la Cilla building, will help you to discover the important role played by the mountainous regions of Cadiz as the frontier of the Nazarí Kingdom.

28 - Sierra de Cádiz

Declared an Artistic Historical Ensemble, its village centre is an exquisite mixture of its Arabic Al-Andalus heritage, popular architecture and beautiful monuments with whitewashed houses alongside manor houses with palace-like exteriors.

The Villa District sits on what was the original centre of the ancient town. In the midst of its maze of streets with their stretches of town walls, you can find the Mother-Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación (a neo-

TASTY CUISINE. Amongst the traditional recipes belonging to the local cuisine are pumpkin salad, chickpea and pepper ratatouille and delicious French toast with honey, not forgetting, of course, the famous Mosto de Pajarete white wine.

Prado del Rey

Puerto Serrano

Between the countryside of Jerez and the Sierra de Grazalema, flanked on both sides by the mountainous spurs of the Cerro Verdugo and Las Lomas, Prado del Rey has its roots buried in the Roman town of Iptuci, although the present-day town is the result of the settling of colonisers in the time of King Carlos III. The archaeological site of Iptuci, declared Property of Cultural Interest, is of great interest as it confirms the existence of human settlements in this area between Neolithic times and the 15th century. Its period of greatest splendour came during Roman times, especially during the first and second centuries A.D., but the Phoenicians had already exploited the salt flats in the surrounding area, near the Cabeza de Hortales.

Set out in linear fashion, rather like American colonies, with areas of gardens lining its streets, this “Garden of the Sierra” has its own artistic legacy in the form of the Nuestra Señora del Carmen Parish Place of Worship, built in the neo-Classical style, and the Farm Cooperative, whose structure is still intact.

The Sierras Subbéticas and the River Guadalete cradle the village of Puerto Serrano, a peaceful white village where the visitor can stroll around and discover the typical 18th century ‘serrana’ houses, surrounded by orange trees.

Its history is perfectly reflected in the numerous archaeological sites which confirm the presence of humans as far back as the Palaeolithic Period and from then until the colonisation by Romans, and subsequently by Hispanic-Muslims. The most significant of these sites are those of Fuente de Ramos and El Almendral, or the ancient Roman settlement of Cerro Castelar and los Marciagos. In the area surrounding the village, you can also visit the interesting hamlet of Pozo Amargo, with its ruined Castle.

Standing in the historical part of the village is the Parish Church of Santa María Magdalena (with a gorgeous altarpiece), the Hermitage of La Magdalena and the Siré Mill, an old Carmelite convent dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.

ALONG THE VÍA VERDE. The Vía Verde de la Sierra has its starting point in Puerto Serrano, and is the perfect environment for hillwalking, bicycle touring and horse-rides – or quite simply to rest.

Sierra de Cádiz - 31

Setenil de las Bodegas

Torre Alháquime

Situated to the North-East of Cadiz province, Setenil is one of the main tourist destinations in the county, due to its unique character and the extreme beauty of its town centre. The houses, some below rocks and other on top of or even inside them, confer different levels of height on the streets and provide special nooks and corners such as the streets called Las Cuevas de la Sombra, The Caves in the Shade, and Las Cuevas del sol, The Caves in the Sun, and the Villa and Lizón vantage points. A truly magical setting for its Easter Week procession, which has been declared of National Tourist Interest.

The maze of streets and the whiteness of the houses around the Arabic fortress have won the distinction of Historical Ensemble for this small village situated in the extreme North-East of the Sierra de Cadiz.

The present-day village has its origins in Medieval times, but there are sites which provide evidence of the presence of humans since Neolithic times. The area today officially defined as the Village is set over the ancient Almohad settlement.

ROUTES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. In the area surrounding the town, the Roman ruins of Acinipo are open to visitors or you could follow one of the established walks: Escarpes del río Trejo, los Bandoleros, Las Limosnas Walk and Los Molinos Walk.

32 - Sierra de Cádiz

The Castle which overlooks the village is a fortress of Medieval origins from the 14th and 15th centuries, which still retains its Keep and a cistern. Its heritage is completed by the High Gothic and Renaissance style Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación Parish Church, the old Town Hall (16th century) with its magnificent Mudejar stonework, and the Hermitages of Nuestra Señora del Carmen and of San Sebastián (situated on the outskirts, the latter is the earliest of the town’s Christian buildings).

As its name indicates, Torre Alháquime (the Tower of Alfaquín) dates back to the Muslin occupation, and was a key piece of the frontier between the Kingdom of Granada and the Castilian Kingdom. From the Nazarí Period, it retains remains of the walls of its Medieval Fortress, known as Del Cementerio, which circles the historical centre of the village, with its only entrance through El Arco de la Villa, the Village Archway. Nowadays, this is an area of leisure and recreation with magnificent, panoramic views of the surrounding area.

As its monuments, the village has inherited the Nuestra Señora de la Antigua Parish Church (18th century Baroque) and the monument to the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, which is to be found in a typical square, known by the name of El Santo and which has a vantage point and gardens.

There are two popular events for fans of motor sports which take place here: the Subida a los Remedios car rally and an Enduro competition.

LEGENDARY BANDITS. The history of the village of Torre Alháquime is linked to the phenomenon of “bandolerismo”, as there were many outlaws who wandered this land raiding and carrying out their exploits. The village even saw the birth of a son of the legendary José María El Tempranillo. The visitor can follow a walk through these lands, their rivers and farmhouses, and run the risk of really being kidnapped by bandits.

Sierra de Cádiz - 33

Ubrique At the point where the Natural Parks of Grazalema and Los Alcornocales meet, we find Ubrique, surrounded by impressive mountains and with leather craftwork which combines tradition and new techniques to perfection, and enjoys international renown and prestige. The town has been declared a Historical Ensemble.

Of Roman origin, as is demonstrated by the important archaeological site of Ocuri or the stretch of Roman Road between Ubrique and Benaocaz (in a good state of conservation), the

Cadiz population also lived under Muslim rule. Of this culture, there remain the ruins of the Cardela Fortress, known as Fátima Castle (12th century), which was part of the Nazarí defence line.

The historical centre with its medieval layout consists of narrow streets, picturesque nooks and corners, immaculate white houses built on rock and with gabled roofs, and beautiful squares with fountains, such as the Baroque Public Fountain and the Al-Andalus fountain, the Nueve Caños.

Its religious architecture boasts good examples of the Baroque style, with the Churches of San Antonio, and San Juan de Letrán, and the Capuchinos Convent; there are, moreover, other interesting places of worship such as those of Jesús, and of San Pedro, the parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la O and the Hermitage of El Calvario.

Ubrique complements its leisure options with routes like the Desfiladero Romántico (the Romantic Gorge), the Salto del Pollo (Chicken Leap) and the Roman Road, as well as ideal spots for fishing, hunting, bicycle touring, mountain sports or bird-watching for birds of prey.

One event which attracts more and more motor-racing fans every year is the powerful Subida a Ubrique “Ubrique Legítimo” Rally, a sporting event not to be missed.

34 - Sierra de Cádiz

THE ROMAN OCURI. This Roman archaeological site from the first and second centuries A.D. which has been perfectly adapted to receive visits is one of the best-preserved sites in all Andalusia. Worthy of mention is a burial monument, a Columbarium, of which there are few similar examples in the Iberian Peninsula. Once you go through the Cyclopean-type walls which mark the limits of the town, you access the interior where there are remains of walls, homes, public buildings, cisterns, water pipes, possible thermal baths (public baths), as well as a large enclosure surrounded by the remains of built-up structures which identify it as the town forum. All of these structures are there to be discovered if you climb up the 780m of access paths accompanied by a team of specialized guides.

Sierra de Cádiz - 35

Villaluenga del Rosario

Villamartín

At the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and at the foot of an impressive rock massif, we find Villaluenga del Rosario, the highest village in the province of Cadiz.

The starting point of the three branches of the Pueblos Blancos Route, this white village in the midst of fertile countryside has been populated since Ancient Times, thanks to its strategic location as a natural crossroads.

Although the origins of the present-day village are to be found in the Muslim culture, according to the nearby Cuevas de la Manga archaeological site, the presence of humans dates as far back as the Lower Palaeolithic Period. The remains of the Medieval Road can still be seen and are very well conserved.

TOWNSCAPE. Its quiet streets of houses with typical, gently undulating roofs, chimneys, white-washed walls and balconies overflowing with flowers constitute a picturesque, harmonious ensemble, and the true charm of this ‘serrana’ village.

The steep, narrow streets merge with the rock and harbour noteworthy monuments such as the Churches of San Miguel and of El Salvador, the Hermitages of San Gregorio and of El Calvario, the Baroque-style Town Hall and the Fuente de el Acueducto.

Villaluenga has the oldest bullring in the province (18th century) which, curiously enough, is not round but polygonal and has upper terraces made of local stone.

The municipality is an absolute sanctuary for pot-holers, as over 80 caves and three of the four most important chasms in Andalusia are to be found here: El Cacao, Los Republicanos and Villaluenga Chasms.

36 - Sierra de Cádiz

Bearing witness to this early presence are the Dolmen de Alberite and the remains discovered at the Torrevieja archaeological site, which form part of the historical perspective of the county, as presented by the Municipal Museum of History.

The heritage of the village includes monuments such as the Matrera Castle, Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes Church (a blend of architectural styles), the Church and Convent of San Francisco, with a magnificent rococo altarpiece, the Nuestra Señora de las Montañas Hermitage and manor houses such as the Palacio de los Ríos or the Palacio de los Topete.

Villamartín uses its gorgeous streets and squares to celebrate its annual popular San Mateo Cattle Fair, declared of National Tourist Interest. This is also a good occasion to taste the delicious chickpea stews, asparagus soups or the traditional handmade pastries.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARADISE. By the Dolmen de Alberite, one of the oldest Megalithic structures in the Peninsula, the Archaeological Site of Torrevieja is to be found, which provides data confirming Neolithic, Tartessian, Turdetani and Al-Andalus settlement where present-day Villamartín is situated.

Sierra de Cádiz - 37

Zahara de la Sierra The Sierra del Jaral cradles this ‘serrana’ village, declared a Historical Ensemble, in its foothills within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.

Although the first settlements were Roman and Visigoth in origin, the founding of current-day Zahara was, as the name suggests, the work of the Muslims. From that period, apart from the typical Al-Andalus urban design, the village still retains the 13th century Castle with its restored Keep, as well as the remains of the medieval village medieval with stretches of walls.

BEACH AND RESERVOIR. Apart from amazing panoramic views, the Zahara-El Gastor Reservoir offers many opportunities to try various sports activities. In the Arroyomolinos Recreational Area, the visitor can swim at an artificial beach in the middle of the Sierra de Cadiz.

38 - Sierra de Cádiz

Its site stretching along the side of a mountain gives this village an unusual urban layout.

The different levels mean that the streets are, by necessity, stepped, in such a way that with a blink of the eye, the view changes from the brilliant white houses to the marvellous views of the countryside afforded by its vantage points.

Within the pretty village centre, the Church of Santa María de la Mesa, the San Juan de Letrán Chapel, the Torre del Reloj (the Clock Tower) and the Los Palominos Bridge are particularly interesting.

During the festival of Corpus Christi, declared of National Tourist Interest, not only can you enjoy the sight of the meticulous ornamentation, but you can also taste the local cuisine, with dishes such as the ‘quemones de cebolla’ (a tomato dip with onion and parsley), the sopas hervías’ (bread and tomato soup) and the sugary tipsy cakes.

Sierra de Cádiz - 39

Walks in the Sierra The Sierra de Grazalema not only has a great wealth of flora and fauna, but it also has an infinite number of opportunities to practise all kinds of outdoor activities, from hill-walking to bicycle touring, not forgetting of course horse-trekking.
