Although we are on spot on the mountain with wide views on all sides,\u00a0we are only 2 km away from the village Cortes de la Frontera. The current village dates back to\u00a0<\/span>the late 17th century, when the harvest of cork stimulated development in the area. In fact\u00a0<\/span>it has a history of more than 11th centuries BC…<\/span><\/p>

Cortes is a lively village with restaurants, bars, supermarkets and more…<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Sierra de Grazalema<\/a> natural park is located directly west of Cortes de la Frontera. It contains a number of large limestone caverns, including the Cueva del Gato, the Cueva de la Pileta and the Garganta Verde. Also home to many colonies of vultures, including a few pairs of Egyptian vultures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Arconocales<\/a> natural park is located south of Cortes de la Frontera. A fantastically beautiful cork oak forest with a vulture feeding place. Along the Rio de Guadiaro downhill you will pass the Ca\u00f1\u00f3n de las Buitreras<\/a>, the gorge at the German Bridge<\/a>.

This national park is best known for the Spanish fir forests, caves, the presence of the golden eagle and the hawk eagle. Sierra de las Nieves<\/a> is not only home to protected species such as the eagle, but also to a Spanish fir that has been declared a natural monument. The famous tree is called Pinsapo de las Escaleretas and is 26 meters high and 5 meters wide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The nearest\u00a0town is Ronda<\/a>, 30 km North of the Cortes de la Frontera. Ronda is located at an altitude of 750 meters and is split in two by the river Guadalev\u00edn, which has formed a deep gorge. This gorge, the Tajo de Ronda, and the three bridges (Puenta Nueva, Puenta Vieja, Puenta Romana) connecting the two halves of the city are what Ronda is famous for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/span><\/span>Due to its remoteness, La Sauceda was used as a refuge after the Morisco Rebellion in 1570, and again in the 19th century by smugglers and bandits.<\/span><\/span> It is also known as the last place of republican resistance in the Sierras de Cadiz during the Spanish Civil War.<\/span><\/span> In 1936, five months after the civil war, the Nationalists bombed La Sauceda and a ground attack followed.<\/span><\/span> Many of the residents were executed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
