Ardales

The rural village of Ardales, well known to Spaniards who spend summers at its reservoir-side campgrounds, is perched along the border of the Ronda mountains. It offers more than stunning countryside and fresh air, however, as those who take the time to enter the town will find. History has been good to Ardales - at least from tourist office's point of view.

Alcazaba

Important medieval fortress that defended the road between Almería and Granada, built before the tenth century. It continued its heyday during the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, until it was occupied by the Christians in 1489. Today, only three towers and some walls remain.

Tapas

When we think of Spain, tapas are one of the first things that comes to mind. The delicious little plates of goodness that go perfectly with a caña of beer or a glass of wine are an icon of Spain, so spend some time hopping from bar to bar tasting them. There are so many to try, from gambas al pil pil and tortilla de patatas to albondigas (meatballs) and Russian salad, you'll never get bored of them.

Hotel Boutique Elvira Plaza

To stay on one of Seville’s prettiest and most historic squares, the tree-lined Plaza Doña Elvira, so you can explore barrio Santa Cruz on foot. The hotel is located right on the pedestrianised square, which is located in barrio Santa Cruz, close to the Alcazar. Many rooms overlook the plaza's orange trees with their lush foliage, providing essential shade in summer, and beautiful ceramic-tiled benches which line its cobbled walkways.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Agustín

The first church in Lobras was destroyed in the mid-sixteenth century and had to be rebuilt amid the difficulties of the Moorish rebellion. The oldest element is the tower, which is attached to the small main chapel.

Cartajima

Located halfway between the Ronda-San Pedro road and village of Juzcar, Cartajima is a small, quiet hamlet. It is one of the highest communities in the province of Malaga, at 846m above sea level. Like other villages in the Alto Genal of the Serrania de Ronda, Cartajima is famous for its chestnut trees , which are harvested in October and November.

Spanish Constitution

Following the death of General Franco in 1975, which heralded the end of 36 years of dictatorship, Spain has become a parliamentary democracy. A year after Franco's death, political parties were legalised, the Socialists in February 1977 and the Communists in April. The first general elections were held in 1979 and were won by the Unión de Centro Democrátia (UCD).

Ermita de Febeire

The simple chapel was painted white and has only one door. It is currently in a state of abandonment. Located north of the town.

New Flamenco - Ojos de Brujo

This Barcelona-based group took the nuevo flamenco/pop world by storm with their 1999 debut, 'Vengue', and its mix of world musics, flamenco, latin rhythms and electronica. Home concerts sell out well in advance, and they have been guests at jazz festivals around Spain, northern Europe and the USA.

Algarrobo Costa

The village Algarrobo is divided into two parts, one inland and the other coastal, located 3 km away from each other. The inland village is usually referred to as "Algarrobo Pueblo" and is where the town hall is located. The coastal town is called "Algarrobo Costa". It is named after the algarrobo (carob) tree, with long, dark (when ripe) pods; carob is used as a sweetener.

Iglesia de Santa Cruz

The church stands out from the rest of the town thanks to the ochre colour of its tiles and the brickwork of its walls. It dates back to 1501, when the parish was attached to that of Capileira de Poqueira. On 15 October that year, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, Archbishop of Seville, canonically established the original parish of Pampaneira alongside 44 others in the Alpujarra Tahas.

Hotel Sercotel Familiar Conde

This two-star hotel offers 54 simple but stylish rooms with minibar and TV with satellite channels; those on the upper floors at the front (some of which have balconies) have good city views, while the rooms at the back are quieter. Bathrooms are bright and cheerful, in orange or purple. Free WIFI is available throughout the hotel.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación

The church predates the sixteenth century, however, during the uprising of the Moors the temples of Tahal and Alcudia de Monteagud were burned. These churches were restored or rebuilt based on a project commissioned by the Bishop of Guadix.

Parador Hotels on the Costa de la Luz

Paradores are not always located in historic buildings. Sometimes the purpose of a Parador is to open up a fascinating – but remote – area to tourism. These are cases where private ventures hardly dare to risk setting up shop, so the government has taken the initiative to build quality facilities for those wishing to visit these out of the way places.

Ronda Bus Timetables

Ronda bus station is located in the new part of the town, only four blocks along the Avenida de Andalucia from the train station and about 5 minutes' walk from the historic town centre. It is located at Plaza Concepción García Redondo.
