Sierra de Cadiz treasures a unique natural enclave. Grazalema, where bandits used to shelter. Meandering roads leading to the highest peaks of Cádiz, where Washington Irving stayed, portraying the customs of the area. Rosemary, thyme, honeysuckle, and guitar sounds recreate the atmosphere of its people.

Sierra de Grazalema

Bandits and trebuchets, winding roads, infinite beauty on the summits, where Washington Irving conceived the ideal resting place from everyday life. Honeysuckles, rosemary, thyme, and guitars accompany the slow and simple life of its people. Root, tradition, time. Grandparents, white sheets in the wind, the squeal of the eagles, the silence, Tragabuches.

Where Irving stopped time

Cobbled alleys, impossible slopes, flowered patios, red bricks and flower pots in the wind. Sun and more sun. Beauty inside and outside, Andalusian tradition, the Arab present. Magic that comes up from its peaks and up to El Palmar. Freshness, freedom, hugs, simple flamenco and good mood, the coastal accent, the legacy of the Border.

Vejer, if you were a woman

Memories of Pedro Romero, the perfect setting, world-renowned, craftsmanship, unique winery. The most precious nectar coveted by outstanding chefs, centuries-old limited production. A secret of warehousing origin, now transformed into the most exclusive luxury. 

Sybarite

Tradition sustained between families, Roman legacy, the art and experience of age-old fishing, sophisticated palates and a journey to fusion cuisine. The most generous coast.
