Mountain hiking (no cave tour) from the cat cave "Cueva del Gato", on the Guadiaro river over the mountain to the "Cueva del Hundidero", the entrance to the same cave in the Grazalema Mountains

Grazalema MountainsThis hike begins at the "Cueva del Gato", the cat cave, an impressive hole in the mountain from which an ice-cold river flows. Our path leads us uphill over a rugged rocky mountain range, along the ridge, past old farms and down on the other side, to the entrance of this 4-kilometer-long cave, which on this side is called "Hundidero", the depression. The landscape around this cave is simply spectacular. Griffon vultures circle an old dam in front of the cave, the reservoir has never filled, the water has disappeared through the many holes in the rock. Then we hike over the mountain again, but on a different path, back to the cat cave, where brave hikers can take a very fresh bath.
