Further away from Vejer de la Frontera is the Natural Park of Grazalema. It is about 100 kms from Vejer. The Natural Park of Grazalema has a surface area of 51,695 acres, also making it the highest point in the Sierra del Pinar with a height of 1,654 meters.

These dramatic mountain ranges have been the frontier post for countless battles between the Moors and the Christians, whose cultural and architectural influence can be seen in the surrounding villages and towns in the park.

The "Cabra Monte” or “wild goat” thrives here, along with others creatures such as red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and smaller predators like mongoose, fox, otters and pole cats.

Birds you are likely to find here include Ospreys, Imperial eagles, Booted eagles, Goshawks and Sparrowheads. The largest colonies of Griffon Vultures in Europe can be found here, in the high sierras.

Grazelema was declared a “reserve of the Biosphere” in 1977, by UNESCO in recognition of its astounding natural values.
