The "Pass of the Doves" is the high point of the road from Grazalema to Zahara — at 1,357 metres the second-highest pass in Andalucía. A small lay-by and viewpoint at the top look down on Zahara and its reservoir on the north side, and back across the gorges of the Sierra del Endrinal to the south.
In late winter and spring, griffon vultures circle on the thermals close enough to identify individual feathers. The road from either side is hairpins, narrow, and slow; allow more time than the distance suggests. Cyclists love it.
