El Torreón, Mountain peak in Sierra de Grazalema, Cádiz Province, Spain.

El Torreón stands as the highest point in Cádiz Province at 1,648 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views across the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and surrounding Andalusian countryside.

The sources record no defensive tower or military episode on El Torreón; the name refers to the mountain itself, also called Pico del Pinar, in the Sierra del Pinar. Its documented history is geological: the limestone of the range has been shaped by karstification into lapies, dolines and large cliffs, most abrupt near the summit. The north face holds the most extensive and best-preserved pinsapo fir forest known, a species endemic to the Serranía de Ronda.

The name El Torreón, or Pico del Pinar, ties the summit to the Sierra del Pinar it crowns. The north face holds the largest and best-preserved pinsapar known, a fir woodland endemic to the Serranía de Ronda, and the sierra lies within the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. Ibex, golden eagles and griffon vultures are regularly seen on the slopes.

The ascent lies in a reserve zone, so prior authorisation from the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park office is required: individuals apply through the Centro de Visitantes, groups and companies through the Oficina del Parque Natural, both in El Bosque. The usual route starts from a car park about 5 km from Benamahoma on the A-372 towards Grazalema: roughly 3 km with 700 m of accumulated ascent, rated high difficulty. Trails close from 1 June to 15 October because of forest-fire risk.

The summit is the highest point in Cádiz Province, and on clear days it can be seen from the Bay of Cádiz and the Strait of Gibraltar, over 100 km away. Its north face holds the largest and best-preserved pinsapo fir forest known, a tree endemic to the Serranía de Ronda.
