The Majaceite River Trail is one of the most popular routes in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park in Cádiz. This approximately 4.4-kilometre route connects the towns of El Bosque and Benamahoma.
It is a low-difficulty trail, ideal for families, and can be completed in about 2 hours. During the walk, you will be accompanied by the Majaceite River, also known as the El Bosque River, and you will be able to observe a beautiful gallery forest with poplars, ash trees and elms. In addition, there are several points of historical interest, such as old mills and the Fábrica de Luz, which provided electricity to the area until 1963.

Small, interesting park, which mainly shows plants of the "Sierra de Grazalema" nature park and explains a lot.

This highlight is signposted on the Sendero "Río Majaceite" between El Bosque and Benamahoma.

We walked this route in June 2025. Temperature around 35 degrees.
A very nice route. Almost completely in the shade. Lovely at high temperatures. Do take plenty of water and possibly a few sandwiches. . At the start and the end you can relax and enjoy the terrace at the restaurant.
