Just a couple of hours travelling from Vejer takes my brother Duncan and I deep into the limestone caverns of the ‘Garganta de las Buitreras’ on the edge of the Grazalema Nature Reserve. This is rural Andalucia at its best – rarely visited and difficult to find but just a thirty minute train journey from the coast. The adventure starts with a […]
