I'm hooked, straight away got to my list of favourite places. Might be small and man-made but damn it's beautiful, with super clean, cold (yes!) water. Perfect for the 40 degree heat. Crowded, but bearable, during the summer weekend, an absolute bliss during the week. Bonus - restaurant serving really good menu del día with several choices at an excellent price. I'll keep on coming back, for sure. Bonus - free motorhome parking (not overnight though!).

Really nice please but very busy on the weekends. Coffee and restaurant very good food. We would love to do the Zip line but is not open yet !!! We hope they open soon should be a nice expirience

Lots of shade and breezy when the area around is sweltering hot. Well equipped with a family area, cafe and bar and a restaurant. There’s picnic tables too, which you can reserve at the weekends, and play areas for kids if you have them. This is a cool spring water artificial lake that’s accessible and welcoming. Gorgeous setting.

It's the best place for s swim in fresh water. They even have a bar and they way their staff is trained is amazing. Everyone is so charming and nice and I loved the way they made us feel at home. David and his team are amazing and the security guard Jose is also the most gente and kind man I have met in a very long time. I can't wait to come back and see them all again.

Very nice place with super clean and super cool water. It is really great in hot days. It is not natural place, as we tought, but still great.

Nice place for a day trip but parking is a dirt car park. The showers also dont work and the toilets dont have any toilet paper.

A pleasant small nature pool has hidden inside the mountain. A side way out of mountain road where is easily skipped. It’s late June and the parking lots are fully occupied! That surprised me for the first time, but soon I understand the reason. Crystal clear cold water with green surroundings and blue sky, how lovely! A little escape for locals, families favorite spot. People laughing, children playing, birds singing... We enjoyed our picnic and swimming in few hours over here.

Beautiful view from the top. Steep and slippery hike up on cobblestone so wear sneakers, but worth it. Stop in the visitor center to see the underground ruins.

Amazing views from the top. Compact castle with not an massive amount of things to see inside. But lete face it, most people don’t climb up for the artifacts.

Quite the hike alllllll the way to the top but it had great views! And clean toilets. Rocky path is steep in areas and can be slick (yes, even when dry). Be careful!

This is a “must” if you’re somewhere nearby Ronda, only 2h away from Malaga. We spent half a day there, exploring the charming town of Zahara and did the hike to the castle on top (3€ fee).

Well worth the visit, though it is a climb to the top, which is hard work in the heat of the day. There is not much shade on the way up. Some of the pathways and stairs are slippy underfoot, so wear grippy footwear. Excellent views.

What an amazing little village, and the walk up to the castle, and the castle itself offer fantastic sceneries. If you are in the area it's definitely worth also visiting this town!

Fabulous hilltop medieval town with ruin of castle on top. Park at the bottom and do a slow climb up, you will see pretty vistas and courtyards and street. Lovely church with beautiful baroque alter piece. Castle is well worth a visit, with a very helpful guy on the entrance

Beautiful track, really worth it! You can walk in a circle, when you reach the botanical garden be careful not to walk down, there is a sign that you have to go down, but that’s directing you to a local bar. The gardens are closing @1500.

We loved this short route. We did it by road bikes (bad idea, we had to carry them most of the way) but it's a medium difficult path on foot. And the possibility of cooling yourself in the brook is exceptional! Just please take your garbage with you!

Excellent hike for most. Along the small river and lots of shade. Got busy mid day but not much people around 9

Awesome trail along the stream (officially a river) from Benamahoma to El Bosque, about 10 km round trip. The trail is shaded along much of it's route which helps keep it cool even on a hot day (is was 30+ degrees when we walked it but with the shade it was fine). There are some rocky sections and stone stairs so you need to be in reasonable shape but in general an easy trail.

Nice and easy walk, very refreshing with a lot of shade. We were told that it can be very busy during the Weekends, so we went on Thursday and we didn't see many people there.

Nice easy walk. Lot's of shade cover. Avoid at the weekends as it can get very busy.

Brilliant walk, about 1hr 30 mins each way. Loads of waterfalls and a really enjoyable few hours in nature. With a nice drink half way.

Fabulous Botanical Garden ! Plants clearly labelled and lots of information. Lots of orchids and springtime plants in flower. Such a well kept space ! I did read a review saying it was all dried out in summer 😂 it's the South of Spain, the flora here does it's thing in spring and early summer. It is free to enter.

Cute little botanical gardens, great walk through with many wonderful plants, all superbly signed.

I'm English but I lived in Ubrique for 2 years several years ago. I also attended some of the workshops in the gardens. I love this botanical garden and can spend hours here re learning the names of the plants in Spanish and re connecting with la Sierra de Grazalema every time I come back to visit the area.

Boring and not well-kept so-called botanical garden. Most of the plants were dried out, and the best thing was that there is no entry fee. Do not consider driving far to visit.

Lovely well-labelled gardens and free of charge. Just really tricky to get to and google maps isn't quite right on its directions. Otherwise a great hour and a half!!!

Visited in Nov, not many people (Saturday) not much variations in plants

Great place. I went in November so not a lot of flowers but will be great to vist in summer.

Great cheeses, as in many places in Spain. Probably a bit difficult to drop by them, as their shop is in the industrial area where they manufacture the cheese. Nevertheless, they have many options all vacuum wrapped, many of their cheeses won international prizes and the taste... Ohhh the taste! 🤤

Excellent cheese and information on the history. Very educational.

One of the better known places to buy cheese in this area. They also have a nice little museum (sort of)

Nice and interesting place. The cheese was nice.

Beautiful cheese! Try the Queso Viejo al Ron Añejo. Aged cheese made with sheep's milk and aged in rum!

Very bad taste. You can buy a better product with less money. Not recommended.

Award-winning cheese and at a decent price. The little museum, though small, is interesting.

Lots of locals here. Excellent, friendly service. Reasonable priced. Opening/closing times vary day-to-day. Suitable for drinks or casual dining. Favourite in ZdlS.

They are very nice and knowledgeable about celiac. The owner is a young man and speaks English very well. Our server, Stephanie was a younger female who also knew a lot about celiac and spoke English pretty well. The fries are GF, also you can have any salads, fish and meats. Additionally, they gave me a packet of GF crackers when they served my family bread. My husband and daughter are not GF. She had the chicken nuggets and he had the Gamba- they both said their meal was amazing!

Travelling alone. Reserve a table! La Era has excellent service, food and athmosphere. One of the waiters speaks very good english and what the others might lack in language skills, they make up for with their excellent service attitude. I got a table without reservation, but all tables seemed reserved. So book a table or prepare to be disappointed.

The food was traditional and absolutely delicious. The staff is so friendly as well

Best food I've had in Spain in the two years I've lived here. Everything from starters to desert is absolutely amazing! Also the level of service is the best I've seen in Spain and very good prices, no tourist tax here like is common in most places.

The best food we had in Spain. Javier was also very friendly and welcoming. Don’t leave Andalusia without visiting this place. The atmosphere and the view are excellent. Greetings from Greece!

Rather disappointing service and food and my mussels were a combination of hot and cold, not ideal. My wife never even got her main dish and we ended up leaving after 1 hour feeling very disappointed. The restaurant really struggled

Lovely clean place. Food very good, prices reasonable and staff very pleasant and helpfull.

Hi Nice Restaurante/Bar very friendly English speaking.

(Translated by Google) They serve quickly, friendly waiter, good price, but for my taste... most of the garnish is typical fries, the pijotas... too fried, stiff. The chicken cheese sauce is very delicious. The scrambled eggs...some chorizo ​​tasted rancid and the black pepper was very fried. The bathrooms are spacious but not adapted for people in wheelchairs, old but clean. Inside there is no access step but it is very narrow. There is no background music. (Original) Sirven rápido, camarero amable, buen precio, pero para mí gusto... mayoría de guarnición típicas patatas fritas, las pijotas... demasiado fritas, tiesas. La salsa de queso del pollo muy rica. El revuelto...algún chorizo sabía rancio y el pimiento negro muy frito. Los baños amplios pero sin adaptar para personas en sillas de rueda, antiguos pero limpios.Dentro no hay escalón de acceso pero muy estrecho. No hay música ambiente.

(Translated by Google) Cozy restaurant with covered terrace. They serve good value for money food. We tried the cheek, the meatballs in tomato sauce and the croquettes - everything homemade, including the potatoes. The desserts may not be homemade and I recommend asking. The service is attentive and friendly. (Original) Acogedor restaurante con terraza techada. Sirven comida de buena relación calidad precio. Probamos la carrillada, las albóndigas en salsa de tomate y las croquetas - todo casero, incluido las patatas. Los postres posiblemente no son caseros y recomiendo preguntar. El servicio es atento y amable.

(Translated by Google) What a great joy, in capital letters, than having stopped to eat at the 4 Woods. Especially after the two disappointments this morning in Grazalema. As soon as you enter and without even knowing if you are going to consume something, you are greeted with cordiality. Good quality of food and quantities, more than enough even for a glutton like me. If you found this review useful, please let me know by clicking the like button, the thumbs up symbol. Thank you. (Original) Qué gran Alegría, con mayúsculas, que la de haber parado a comer en las 4 Maderas. Especialmente, después de las dos decepciones de esta mañana en Grazalema. Nada más entrar y sin tan siquiera saber si vas a consumir algo, te reciben con cordialidad. Buena calidad en la comida y cantidades, más que suficientes incluso para un glotón como yo. Sí esta reseña te ha parecido útil, por favor, házmelo saber pinchando en me gusta, el simbolito del pulgar hacia arriba. Gracias.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to eat with family or friends, the food is very good, it is cheap and they serve a lot, the waiters' treatment is excellent, they are always attentive to whatever is needed, the only thing is that there was a bit of commotion , but it is logical, it was full, I will eat here again without a doubt. (Original) Un lugar muy agradable para comer en familia o con amigos, la comida está muy buena, es barata y ponen cantidad, el trato de los camareros es excelente, están siempre pendiente de lo que haga falta, lo único es que había un poco de jaleo, pero es lógico, estaba lleno, volveré a comer aquí sin duda.

(Translated by Google) We ate some tapas of potato aioli, chicharrones and chocó roe with onion, the prices were very good and the girl who served us was very friendly and even recommended where to buy cheese, there is little parking nearby but there is more over a small bridge. (Original) Comimos unas tapas de patata alioli, chicharrones y huevas de chocó con cebolla, los precios muy buenos y la chica que nos atendió muy amable que hasta nos recomendó donde comprar queso, hay poco aparcamiento cerca cerca pero por un puentecito hay más.

Amazing place, amazing service. Menu of the day includes drink, starter, main dish + dessert, and costs only 10 euro.

Great atmosphere and really delicious food! visited on Sunday afternoon for lunch and place was packed with locals of whom apparently everyone knows each other, truly an authentic restaurant endorsed by local people. loved octopus salad, grilled squid and ox tail (rabo de toro), pork tongue is a specialty you can't miss either on top of everything, excellent service and very good price, highly recommended

Exquisite. The best meal of our six days in Andalusia. Every single item was delicious and the server (the owner?) was so friendly and helpful - he went the extra mile in terms of helping us through our limited understanding of the menu. Recommend 100%

This restaurant was buzzing when we went for lunch on Saturday. We got there early as they don't take reservations and we were lucky to get a table. People were waiting patiently on the pavement for a table. The food is amazing. We had artichoke and spinach salad with walnuts and black aioli, steamed cockles and a beautifully cooked, fall off the bone leg of lamb with garlic and chips sprinkled with sea salt. The waiting staff, although rused off their feet, were great. We'll be back.

Good food, reasonable prices and catered well for kids.

Delicious food and excellent value. The staff are really friendly too. It's a little bit away from the tourist places but the food is proper local cooking.

This restaurant was really terrific. I am definitely going to come back here to eat. The service was excellent and the food was genuinely great. Highly recommended

Restaurant with amazing view. Staff is very friendly. The food is simple for a reasonable price.

The view is amazing, but the food is just ordinary. There are better places where to eat. A beer here would be nice just to enjoy the view

Great lunch with an amazing view. It offers a 10 Euros menu for lunch. Worth every penny of it. Instead of the french fries you typically find on menus for 10 Euros, they serve fried potatoes. A good change of pace. Otherwise all the typical items like meatballs, beans and tripes...are available and done well. Friendly service. This restaurant is at the top of the village. It is well worth the extra climb. Would recommend parking your car at the entrance of the village unless you like to navigate on steep and narrow streets.

The food was good (especially the chocolate mousse!), but not spectacular. I had a salad which I could not add oil and vinegar to, because the bottles for these were so dirty and slippery that they could not be removed from their holder. The soap dispenser was broken. Service was quite awkward. View is good, but it was a bit cold inside.

The flavor was amazing. The codillo has the best seasoning I had in Spain. The wine was top notch. And the price was good! Also the view. The entire family agreed it was our best meal in Spain.

The waiter was alone, it took more than 45 minuts just to get the soup. Keep in mind its a very cozy (tiny) dinning room, so the time was unacceptable. Asked for a second beer, never saw it. Food was ok.

great place to eat not expensive at all. Lots of choice. Local produce. Amazing views from the dinning room at the back of this restaurant.
