Linear. On the way to Grazalema along pedestrian paths, leaving through the gate of the Campobuches River, following a gully, and entering the village along the medieval cobbled path.

We leave the Tambor by the Río Campobuches gate (TBLL int-2. río Campobuches) which is signposted in blue from the hotel. When we leave the farm, we turn right, following the path upstream (1). After crossing the meadows that surround the Campobuches River (2), in the vicinity of the Tambor plain, when we cross the lane, we come across the cork oak of Las Ánimas, an old tree with a majestic bearing (3).

Towards the northwest, we take the 10 pilas gully, which takes us to the Los Alamillos inn. At this point we cross the A 372 road to begin the descent from the Puerto de los Alamillos, between stone pines and cork oaks, to the banks of the Guadalete River. A wooden post tells us to turn right and look for the path through the pine forest (4).

If we continue straight on, the path is very steep and uncomfortable along the stream. On leaving the pine grove, we find some large sandstone stones, from where there is a beautiful view of the valley of the Guadalete River (panoramic view). We will have to open a pair of gates, very close to each other, just after leaving a henhouse on the left.

At this point we meet the path that comes from the Hotel Fuerte. At the bottom of the valley we turn left (5), along the Cañada Real de Olvera, taking a more important track, which leads us straight on to the village. We cross the A-372 road, to take the medieval cobbled path (6) that climbs up to the village, leaving the Guadalete River on our right.
