Walk, listen, observe and enjoy learning. In Spanish or English

WALK 1

A circular and easy route without leaving the Tambor del Llano farm to get to know the farm where you are going to spend a few days (2 hours).

A bit of history to get you into the picture... Ruins of old farmhouses. A refuge for legendary bandits such as Tempranillo. Farmland and vineyard land. How this estate has been transformed: from a livestock shed to a charming hotel... From abandonment to an organic farm, with horses, a herd of Merino de Grazalema sheep and an organic vegetable garden to supply the hotel dining room.

The nature of the mountain range is expressed... The ecosystem of the Sierra de Grazalema. The vegetation and forests it contains. The cork oak and cork. Los Llanos del Tambor, an example of one of the most unique features of this area. Sandstones and limestone through which the water from abundant rainfall in cold winters seeps. The Guadarés river that disappears at the end of spring and reappears with the first heavy rains. Wild plants. The vultures, lords of the skies of this mountain range. The deer their majesties of the territory. A reserve for birds. Reptiles and amphibians. A symphony of frogs in the spring. Dragonflies and butterflies

WALK 2

River Campobuche or Guadares (4 hours)

Leaving Tambor del Llano towards the plain, we come across the river Guadares or Campobuche. It rises in the Sierra de Grazalema and is a tributary of the Guadiaro River just a few metres from the Gato Cave. Downstream there is a beautiful walk through old pastures of cork oaks and gall oaks. This route takes us between pools and backwaters to a marsh that retains the water from the river and is a refuge for amphibians and reptiles.
