Grazalema Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Grazalema

Grazalema is the rainiest place in Andalusia. Because of this and because of the relative coolness, the Moorish rulers of Granada spent their summer months here. You have to be a little lucky to catch a sunny day. The place was founded by the Moors in the 8th century and was first called Rais lami suli. Then it was renamed Hijo de Zulema, which later mutated to Grand Zulema, until the name Zagrazalema came about after the Christian Reconquista in 1485. In the 17th century Grazalema was a center of the textile industry with its many water mills. Today the place lives mainly from nature lovers tourism.
