Zahara de la Sierra is a great location for an active holiday with opportunity to relax if preferred. Bars and restaurants offer traditional, local produce. Hotel Al Lago was especially good. The town does have the steep hill streets of the traditional white villages.

Zahara is spectacularly situated with absolutely stunning views to the mountains over the reservoir. The village is immaculate and has everything you need, shops and restaurants. I did some local walks, but bear in mind that most accommodation is near the top of a very steep hill, especially Tugasa Arco de la Villa.

Very cute town.
Very cute town. We stayed there for 6 nights and travelled around the region each day by car. Southern Spain is quite large so finding a central location to go everywhere from is difficult. I would recommend Zahara for the western parts (like Ronda, Seville, Cadiz, and Gibraltar), and the move on to an eastern town for the likes of Granada and Cordoba. We did make it Granada for a day trip, but it is a 2.5 hour drive each way. Zahara itself is a nice town in its own right and nice for walking around at night. We didn't go to many restaurants as we cooked most nights, but can highly recommend the pizza place. We were there in summer and it was very hot deep into the night. Make sure you stay in a place with AC if you're staying in summer. It didn't cool down below 35 celsius until after midnight, and was still around 39-40 degrees at sunset (~10pm). One thing to plan for is the very windy narrow mountain roads connecting Zahara and the towns on the south coast (e.g. Estepona). We didn't want to risk it in our SUV rental car after a few close calls with other cars on the road up to Grazalema.

A lovely old village with some very steep hills, I recommend some form of transport for getting around as it is quite a long way to the reservoir. Can't comment on the restaurants as I was self catering.

I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005.
I was in Zahara de la Sierra also briefly in 2005. At the time I thought it was a wonderful village but unfortunately then I had very little time for my visit.
So all those years I dreamed of returning for a quieter and longer stay.
However, Zahara de la Sierra has meanwhile become very touristy. Certainly on the weekend.
That’s why I advise to visit the village on weekdays if you can.
When I was there at the end of May 2022 there were a lot of weekend tourists.

A quaint old house with a lovely view from the patio over the lake. Unfortunately the pool was closed (despite it being 30C every day we were there) and there was a large steep staircase up to the bedroom which we had not been warned about and which my wife found very difficult to negotiate. There was also no WiFi which I think should be standard nowadays. Zaharia is a lovely example of a “white town”. Not the easiest to drive around and you need to be fit to walk up and down the streets. The El Lago restaurant is on the bottom road so easy to access for parking and the food is good.

A nice and convenient apartment at the heart of the most beautiful white village in Sierra de Grazalema. Perfect as a base for car exploring of the region (even to Ronda) and to walk everywhere in Zahara de la Sierra itself. We were only two but the apartment could easily fit more. No issues with cold close to new years, didn't even need the fireplace or heating. The hosts were nice and helpful, available easily for our arrival and departure. Absolutely worth the price
Best views in the town of Zahara de la Sierra! Lovely Manuel has set up a cosy room (comfortable beds, extra blankets, lots of towels, accessible sockets, heating, wifi) and intends to have more rooms in the future. The living area has the most amazing views and is a great place to enjoy a drink after a day's exploring.
Authentic Spanish house - just like flying back 7-8 decades in time. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, big enough living room with sofas. We really enjoyed the day we spent there. The neighborhood with the village and its medieval castle worth to see. Also the restaurants nearby with traditional local foods are nice.
We have stayed here before and like the location to all of the restaurants and the ease of parking nearby. Our room was quite large and had a nice balcony and street view. The manager is very helpful and though we didn't eat or drink there, it is convenient to have the bar and breakfast available.
The building is very well located - right at the centre of Zahara de la Sierra. Very well-equipped kitchen with everything you may need for cooking a meal. The apartment itself is more spacious than the photographs indicate. Stunning views from the (very small) balcony.
We were a group of four in Zahara de la Sierra for one night to watch a professional bike race. Casa Atardecer was perfect. It was a 5 min walk from restaurants and the bike race. Parking was easy. We asked for and received a late check-out of 2 pm.
querky building but finished with real taste, free cakes and biscuits etc couldnt fault we are travelling round spain by car this was by far the best we had stayed in and we have stayed in some modern hotels but this had character
The view from the hotel room is the highlight. The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel is well accessible, with a parking spot nearby. All in all, a great hotel for a one or two-day stay in Zahara.
