Baena to Zuheros – 8 miles

Today’s walk was short with glorious scenery! Zuheros is in the Subbeticas Nature Preserve and it’s well worth the visit.

We stayed a second night in Zuheros and went to a bat cave. Photos forbidden so no record but a good hike and great guide.

We stayed an extra day in Zuheros and visited the bat caves. We just saw two bats but as our guide said “it’s not a zoo and the bats don’t have a schedule”.

Entrance to the cave.

Just inside, no photos allowed beyond this point. We went on to see cave paintings, burial sites and incredible cave formations.
