Tambor del Llano, Grazalema: The Mountain Retreat to Book Around the Jerez Horse Festival
The poet Federico García Lorca once described the sound of a horse's hooves galloping across an open plain as the beating of a drum — tambor del llano, the drum of the plain. An organic estate in the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park took that line as its name, and everything about the place lives up to it.
Tambor del Llano sits four kilometres from the village of Grazalema and twenty kilometres from Ronda, inside Spain's first designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — a landscape of limestone peaks, ancient cork oak forests, river valleys and open pasture that shifts with every season.
It is a family-run working farm and rural hotel, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 488 Google reviews, and it sits approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Jerez by car.
If you are visiting Jerez for the Feria del Caballo, this is the retreat that makes the rest of the week make sense.
