Garganta Verde in the Sierra de Grazalema is one of those hikes that takes away your breath. Towering limestone cliffs, wild greenery, and huge birds soaring right over your head.
This canyon is famous for hosting one of Europe’s largest colonies of Griffon Vultures — with around 290 pairs living in the gorge. And if you’re lucky, you might also spot Peregrine Falcons or even the Egyptian Vulture gliding through the canyon.
It’s not just a hike… it’s a full-on nature show. 🥾🦅
A few tips before you go:
- Start early for the best light and fewer people
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes
- Bring plenty of water and snacks
- Binoculars or a zoom lens are 100% worth it
- Depending on the season, you may need hiking permission to access Garganta Verde, so always check ahead
- Respect the wildlife and stay on marked trails
Save this one for your Andalucía bucket list ✨
And tag the friend who’d absolutely scream if a vulture flew overhead 😂
