Benaocaz is a small white village in the province of Cádiz, set among the rugged limestone mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema. Part of the Route of the White Villages (Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos), it is a rewarding stop for visitors exploring the Sierra de Grazalema and the surrounding countryside.
The village has a quieter feel than some of the better-known destinations in the region, with narrow streets, traditional whitewashed houses and mountain views in every direction. Its location also makes it a useful starting point for exploring the surrounding landscape on foot.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
