Monday Morning Photo - Finca de la Pansa

Finca de la Pansa B&B, once a farm house where grapes were dried to make the local Moscatel wine. The local farmsteads had this type of traditional frontage with arches so that the grapes - laid out on large cane mats could be dragged under cover quickly if it rained - yet still be out in the air to ´cure.´ See the video of Finca de la Pansa B&B on YouTube.

Walking The Mountains of Ronda and Grazalema in Andalusia - Guidebook Review


The Walking The Mountains of Ronda and Grazalema guidebook by Guy Hunter-Watts and printed by Cicerone covers stunning parts of the mountainous region of Andalucia from the east to west they are:

Ronda and the Sierra de las Nieves
The Guadiaro and Genal Valleys
The Sierra de Grazalema



These areas include the lovely white villages of Ronda, Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra, El Burgo, Juzcar, Benarraba, Genalguacíl, Gaucín, Montejaque, Benaojan, Jimera de Libar, Igualeja, Alpandeire, Cartajima and Benamahoma most of which I 've visited and would happily return to.

The 32 circular walks range from 4-16 kms with the majority of the walks being graded easy and medium and a couple of difficult ones. The stunning dramatic limestone peaks with fertile river valleys and mild weather all year round make this a great destination for walking and hiking. The Sierra de Grazalema and La Sierra de las Nieves are both Natural Parks and UNESCO biosphere reserves.

The book has all the necessary details, maps, photos and walking notes to ensure you make the most of your walking holiday in this fabulous walking area.
