Pinsapar

Grazalema
5 Hours
11 Kilometers
357 M

This path delights us with the forest of pinsapos, unique fir that led to the declaration of these mountains as a Biosphere Reserve and Natural Park. The path begins to ascend between pines until you reach Puerto de las Cumbres, a natural pass to the north face of this mountain range. You can also see El Torreón, the highest peak in the province of Cádiz, and some fir trees that announce the proximity of the forest. As we enter the Spanish fir forest, the little light that penetrates the forest will draw our attention. El pinsapar is a vestige of distant times, a botanical jewel restricted to a very small distribution area.
