This area of thoroughly breathtaking beauty was given the honour in 1984 and since a whole string of beautiful Andalucian sierras have been honoured with the similar status.<\/p>\n<p>This almost 60,000 hectare park is a mouth-watering maze of gorges, caves, gullies and rugged limestone cliffs. In fact, it is within this utterly impressive natural park where Andalucia\u2019s largest cave system can be found, that includes the Hundidero-Gato, a colossal grotto of four kilometres in length.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many of the drier and \u2018desertscape\u2019 areas Andalucia is typically known for, the Sierra de Grazelema Natural Park flourishes with Mediterranean plant life, providing the perfect habitat for an exceptional myriad of flora and fauna including a griffon vulture colony that keeps a watchful eye over the sierras from its home at the peak of the Garganta Verde gorge.<\/p>\n<p>Such a lush, fertile, verdurous and ecologically thriving landscape usually signifies one thing \u2013 rain! It has to be said that the Grazelema Natural Park is one of the wettest places in Spain, but set within a landscape as arid and parched as much of Andalucia, comes as a refreshing change.<\/p>\n<p>If witnessing rare and spectacular wildlife, scenery that would give Switzerland a run for its money, being a stone\u2019s throw from the azure waters of Lake Zahara, being within easy reach of the quintessentially Andalucian whitewashed pueblo of El Gastor, with the Spanish \u2018must see\u2019 town of Ronda slightly further a field, and the unsurpassable city of Seville within reach, sounds like a pretty impressive holiday, you may be interested in staying at the Vintage Travel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/villa_details.cfm?p_id=633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">luxury villa in Andalucia<\/a>,\u00a0Llanama (pictured).<\/p>\n<p>This four bedroom, two bathroom villa can accommodate up to eight guests. Being set within a rural utopia of olive groves and meadows and boasting astounding views of the Grazelema Natural Park and Lake Zahara, guests cannot fail to be overwhelmed by the natural beauty of Llanama\u2019s surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the devout natural beauty of the area, Llanama\u2019s interior includes chestnut wooden beams, areas of exposed stone and many other traditional and natural delights the area proudly insists in maintaining. The exterior of Llanama is equally as desirable, it\u2019s spacious grounds comprising of a grand private pool, a private floodlit tennis court, a basketball court and children\u2019s swings.<\/p>\n<p>With the autumnal colours casting a vibrant hue across the Grazelema Natural Park, November can be an exceptionally beautiful time to visit the park, which being out of season, a week\u2019s rental of Llanama costs just \u00a3695 a week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sierra de Grazelema Natural Park and luxury villa in\u00a0Llanama \u2013 Andalucia at its most inspiring!
