If you’re visiting Grazalema, my self-guided audio tour is a great way to discover the village beyond the obvious sights. I’ve lived in the area for many years and created this tour myself, drawing on my knowledge of Grazalema, its history and the places I’ve come to know from living and working here.
It’s not a traditional guided tour where you have to meet at a particular time. You buy the tour, download it to the VoiceMap app and then explore Grazalema when it suits you. Walk at your own pace, stop for photographs, have a coffee or lunch, and continue when you’re ready.
How the Grazalema Audio Tour Works
The tour uses the VoiceMap app, which you can download before you arrive in Grazalema. Once you’ve purchased the tour, download it to your phone and you can use it without mobile data while you’re walking around the village.
The GPS technology automatically starts the relevant commentary as you reach each location, so you don’t have to keep looking at your phone or work out which recording to play next. Just follow the walking route and listen as the stories unfold around you.
The tour is designed to be self-guided, so there is no meeting point and no fixed start time. You can begin when you want, take your time, stop for photographs or refreshments and explore Grazalema at your own pace.
