Reblogged from an old post but thought you might like to see this again…
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 2 hour river bed walk to the top of the chasms. To make the journey you’ll need harnesses, abseiling kit and a 20m. (static hydrophobic preferably) rope. Don’t forget the wetsuits – it’s bitterly cold in the water deep in the gorge of which some parts never receive the sun. The gorge itself takes about five hours of swimming and walking and if you want to float out in style take a canvas airbed and raft out down the Guadiaro all the way to the tiny country station of El Colmenar…
