As the name suggests this is a high walk in the mountains, but your access by road gains the altitude and the walk is a fairly short circular one that goes around the peak offering spectacular views. The peak itself is at 1,328m above sea level and the car park at 1,157m. It will take about 1.5 to 2 hours at a leisurely pace to complete the 2.7km and may give amazing sightings of Griffon Vultures, from above and below. The terrain is rugged limestone rock with rough grasses, stunted oak trees and sparse Mediterranean scrub.
This short walk leads you through mixed Mediterranean woodland dominated by evergreen and deciduous oaks. It will take anything from around one to two hours, depending on how inquisitive you are. Birds calling from the trees include Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Jays, Firecrests, Long-tailed tits and Treecreepers with Hoopoes during the summer months and Griffon vultures plus Eagles soaring through the open skies above. The path is comfortably shaded through the heat of summer and verdant through the winter/ spring.
This is a gentle walk on a good track that takes you through gnarled oak trees in the Sierra de Las Nieves. Jays cackle and call as they stay just ahead on this woodland walk. Booted Eagles, Short-toed eagles and Goshawk may fly overhead and there are many common European species around in the trees such as Chaffinch, Great-tit and Robin. The Mediterranean scrub that grows in the shade of the trees and in the clearings can provide an array of colours both on their own and with the insects that they attract.
A great way to relax from all the cycling that Claire and I do is to go for a walk and when we have a few hours to spare we pack a small picnic, sandwiches, crisps, fruit and a drink, jump in the car and head off to Benaojan. The walk begins at the railway station ‘Estacion de Benaojan’ which is situated in the Guadiaro valley in the Sierra de Grazalema. You can park for free at the railway station. It’s a short and easy walk which usually takes us an hour and a half at a very leisurely pace. The walk joins the two white villages of Benaojan and Jimera. The reason it is our favourite is you can amble down to Jimera have a picnic, stop for tapas and drinks in Jimera before catching the train back to Benaojan.
