Sierra de Grazalema launches summer 'Noches con Encanto' festival and highlights Bocaleones water trail

The small town of Grazalema in the province of Cádiz, with fewer than 2,000 residents, will host the "Noches con Encanto 2026" cultural program from 30 July to 17 August. The event will turn public squares and cultural spaces into open‑air stages for music, theatre and cinema, featuring acts such as No Mamut, Rey Lagarda, Perséfone Music and a theatrical performance of the Álvarez Quintero brothers' sainetes.

In the surrounding Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, the Arroyo Bocaleones route in Zahara de la Sierra offers a 6‑kilometre low‑to‑medium‑difficulty hike that runs largely through the stream itself. Hikers walk, wade and occasionally swim in crystal‑clear water, making it a popular way to cool off during the summer. Proper waterproof footwear, light quick‑dry clothing and a swimsuit are recommended for safety and comfort.
