A Tapas menu display board at one of the restaurants in the mountain village of Grazalema in Cadiz Province in Southern Spain. The village is located in a high valley over 800m in the Sierra del Endrinal and dominated by the rocky outcrop known as Peñon Grande. The village is a very popular base for visitors to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. The park is a vast protected area of rugged limestone mountains, which are famous for being the rainiest place in Spain. These high levels of precipitation account for the verdant vegetation in the surrounding countryside. The limestone peaks of 1,500m around Grazalema are the first barriers that clouds from the Atlantic meet, causing plentiful rainfall. A unique microclimate has developed where a wide range of flora flourishes, such as the rare Spanish fir (pinsapo) that grows in the Sierra de Pinar close to Grazalema.
