Set against the backdrop of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, Zahara de la Sierra is an idyllic example of a pueblo blanco. This village, perched on a hill, is crowned by a Moorish castle that once served as a lookout during the time of the Muslim rule in Spain. From the top of the castle, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise Zahara-El Gastor reservoir, one of the region's most striking landscapes.
Zahara is also an excellent destination for nature lovers, offering easy access to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, which is home to diverse wildlife, scenic hiking trails, and the highest rainfall in Spain. The park is known for its limestone cliffs and unique flora, making it a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts.
