If you do see a lot of tourists around try to reserve a table at a restaurant or eat earlier, when we there and feeling hungry a restaurant told us to come back in three hours! It was then more a thing of we will eat where there is a table available, we did strike a table on the third try! I must also say that when I was there it was Easter and it is probably the most busy time of the year, so this tip might not usually apply. By the way the meat is excellent, we ate near the church but I didnt get the name of the restaurant.

There are no trains here and I don't even think there are local buses although some rented coaches have been spoted along the El Boque Grazalema road which possibly carry tour groups , therefore the best way to get here is to go by car, even if it means renting one.
Here are the distances in KM to/from the nearest towns and villages:
Cádiz 120 Ronda 32
Villamartín 40 Málaga 137
Arcos 45 El Bosque 18
Benamahoma 10 Sevilla 130
Ubrique 28 Algodonales 25
Jerez 87 Zahara 18
Here are the different roads you should use depending on what direction you are coming from:
Cádiz via Arcos de la Frontera N-342. C-344
Sevilla to Villamartín N-IV. C-344
Málaga to Marbella – Ronda N-340. C-339. C-344

This little shop just off of Plaza España sells local produce from the Village such as olive oil, marmalade and wine, but the number one reason to come here must be to try one of their delicious home made cakes or pastries.
Normally I am not a fan of bakers in Spain and find their cakes dry or I don't like the fillings, this time I was more than pleasantly surprised. It was the first time I had bought a cake from a bakers in Spain and LOVED it. That's right, I didn't just like it I LOVED it!!!
It was soooooo tasty! yummmmmmmy yuuuuuummmmmmy for my tummy!
So if you stop off in Grazalema be sure not to miss out on TS especially if you have a sweet tooth!
What to buy: I got the cake in the second photo which was a basic sponge topped with strawberry and filled with a light fluffy Strawberry cream and perhaps lemon filling. The taste was divine. It melted in my mouth and it only cost 1.10 euros for a seizable portion.
What to pay: Most of the cake slices cos 1.10 euros

I was staying at El Bosque which is less than 40km from Grazalema, when we left the weather was really nice and warm, but when we got to Grazalema it was very cold (March). Remember Grazalema is 812m above sea level, so take something to cover yourself. Also a mist covered the village quite quickly. Grazalema is also apparently known to be the area with most rain in Spain.

Favorite thing: I really loved the water fountain found in Plaza España to the right of the Town hall.
With it's four little faces and water spouts it really tempts you to try the drinkable mountain mineral water that pours out from them.
They just aren't hre for decoration, you will see many of the locals using them!
I'm not sure how to turn them on though...
