Not difficult. But strenuous because of the kilometers and altitude.
But you are always rewarded with magnificent views.
If you leave the hiking trail just before Ronda to take a shortcut, you will unfortunately have to cross a river, depending on how rainy it was before.
But it's fine, see photos

From the city above the Tagus, you take comfortable paths to the edge of the Sierra de Grazalema. In Benaoján we are briefly afraid that there will only be cookies and granola bars for siesta. Luckily we discover a bar that is still open and serves huge bocadillos with cheese. 😁
