We did this hiking walk from El Bosque Town to Benamahoma. The entrance was not well signposted on the El Bosque town side if you are a tourist in the area, but we asked 2 local ladies who gave us ample instructions. This is a walk that you must not miss if you are in the area. The nearer you got to Benamahoma, the more beautiful the river became. The walk is fairly simple, although some areas might be more tricky if you have mobility issues. It was supposed to take about 2 hours at a comfortable pace, but we stopped several times to admire the areas and the beautiful birds. On reaching Benamahoma, there are public toilets very clean and well kept. Restrictions in the area are no swimming in the river or putting up picnic chairs, etc.
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.

Maribel will show you the facilities and tell you with the deepest passion possible about all the beautiful history of Ubrique and its relationship with leather. Maribel has devoted her life to safeguard and show thousands of pieces of the town's history for the last 25 years, with little support from politicians or institutions. A work she can be really proud of.
Very nice visit! You need the guide to tell all the interesting stories. He speak only Spanish. The tour covers the history, how to color the leather and to work it. Many examples of craftsmanship and a small demonstration.
Very interesting museum! However the guide did not speak English but luckily enough another visitor translated for us.
We had very good introduction about the leather history of Ubrique. The staff was very funny and friendly. Highly recommend!
Place very well prepared for visitors. Excellent and kind guides. I can only recommend the Museo!
There are some fine examples of leather work, well worth seeing, but not a word of explanation in Spanish or English, possibly due to the leather manufacturer's quest for secrecy of their processes.
The mountainous view is remarkable!
A wonderful experience.

This was the perfect setting for my daughter's engagement, at sunset at the top! The caretaker of the castle even let us stay beyond closing hours to let them continue celebrating. So special and kind. It was absolutely beautiful.
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
