This beautiful white hill town is just a
15-minute drive away, and you can swim in
its lake, hire canoes and kayaks and enjoy a
drink and tapas in – or outside  – the lakeside
restaurant. The lake, which is an alluring
turquoise in the sunshine, is massive – a
magnificent sight as you drive above it into the Grazalema mountains.

The town of Zahara is very pretty with several restaurants – one with great views to the lake below.
