Itinerary

The Llanos (plains) de Libar path goes from Montejaque to the Cortijo (farmhouse) de Libar, to the west of the Serrania de Ronda District, across some beautiful dolines (typical karst formation consisting on a more or less wide flat depression surrounded by hills in which a very fertile soil allows the development of agriculture and livestock farming) and very mature holm and Portuguese oaks “dehesas” (pastures in open forests), between the jagged limestone mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.

Despite this site is always worth a visit at any time of year, November witnesses the arrival of thrushes coming from the north of Europe to feed from the abundant berries of hawthornes and dog roses.
