The best available hotels & places to stay near Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park

August 22, 2022 Terina Blouin

Featuring limestone cliffs, cave systems (the largest of which—the Hundidero-Gato complex —has prehistoric origins), and deep gorges, it’s no wonder that Sierra de Grazalema is considered to be one of Spain’s most stunning ecological landscapes. Budding botanists can lose themselves in more than 1,300 different species of flora, while birders will delight in the prospect of seeing communities of Bonelli’s eagles and the endangered Egyptian vulture. More into mammals? The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is also home to genets, mountain goats, and otters

Reviewed By neverendingoliday

Stayed before so knew out of village. Half board option food value. Great choice for breakfast and dinner. Lovely staff but rushing round trying to do everything as seemed to be not enough of them . Only real downside was no supervision at pool so no-one to stop parents who thought it OK to lay on sunbeds with headphones in reading books whilst children ran riot in pool. Throwing sand in from play area, fighting in jacuzzi (was supposed to be 12 years+, these were about 8ish, think Dutch). Also, asked for quiet room when booking but put between 2 occupied room even though hotel nearly empty??? Shower in bathroom didn't work. Small points and overall really enjoyed stay. Juan in the bar is a great asset to hotel.

Beautiful room, light and airy, comfortable bed, luxurious linens, plenty of space to spread out. Lunch was excellent and beautifully served. The hosts pay attention to every detail and really care about their guests' comfort. I expected a "nice" property, but Al Lago exceeded my expectations by far.

Reviewed By AlvaColo

Ideal hotel as a base to explore the whole sierra de Cadiz. Provides an amazing swimming pool for summer and a restaurant specialised in local food. Rooms are ok, but if you have the chance request for a balcony wit swimming pool view, it is a marvellous view in the middle of the countryside.

Stay at El Tabanco

Reviewed By Alan J

We stayed at El Tabanco for 5 nights in early September 2019. We enjoyed our stay which was amazing value and included a double en suite room, secure garaging for our car and a delicious breakfast. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant in the evening was of a high standard. It was easy to find in El Bosque which was a good base for walking and travelling to Grazalema National Park. Highly recommended.

Local excellence

Reviewed By Michael L

Excellent, simple local food. Rich in taste from garlic, charcoal, olive oil and salt. Nothing fancy, just splendid. Passionate chef who gladly explained the sauce following their gambones al ajillo (prawns in garlic). The kind waitress let me use her sweater on this chilled evening in May. The restaurant is located in a narrow Alley next tomter main square. Don’t hesitate to look it up.

The location was idyllic, tranquil and peaceful. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The farm walking trails are beautiful and offer amazing views across the natural landscape. The food was excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the horse riding trek and the natural swimming pool was a great experience. Our children also made friends with the two resident dogs! The nearby town of Grazelema offered great lunch options. We will definitely be back!

Other reviews mentioned the friendly staff. Well, let me tell you, Horacio took hospitality to new heights. A warm smile and a firm handshake. Kept the dining open late even though I was the only diner. Found a tv channel with the big soccer game. THEN the bank blocked my credit card. He tried several times, but no luck. I tried to pay in cash, he says “Let’s try again at breakfast”. Offered that he hold the card, he said it’s not necessary. When was the last time you were truly trusted on the road? Here I was, some biker and a stranger to boot. Innkeepers just don’t do that. Horacio did. Warms the heart. I’ve been traveling with TripAdvisor all over the world for years, this is my first review. From Paris to Delhi to Nairobi. This man deserves a medal. Better hospitality than a room costing 20x. An Angel.
