Villanueva del Rosario

If you are searching for hidden treasure, the white village of Villanueva del Rosario could be a good starting point. Easily accessible at 39 kilometres north of Malaga City, just 2.5 kilometres off the main Malaga/Granada (A359) road, legend has it that during Roman times treasure was buried beneath the Peñon de Solis (3 kilometres from the village centre) and to this day it has never been recovered.

Convento de San Luís, Velez Blanco

The Convent was built by the second Marquis de los Vélez, Don Luis, and was completed, along with its accompanying church, in 1572. The façade of the church is made of ashlar stone and has a doorway between two oculi, a niche over the access door and the Vélez shield on its sides.

Genalguacil - Encuentros de Arte 1998

A bi-annual event during the first two weeks in August on even years there is an art festival in Genalguacil called "Los Encuentros de Arte del Valle del Genal", and prize-winning works of art are created by 'Artists in residence' and placed on permanent public display throughout the village afterwards. Here is an overview of the Los Encuentros de Arte del Valle del Genal.

Destinations - Ceuta

Ceuta is a 22 square kilometre Spanish territory or enclave on the northern African coastline. It is one of the European ports into Africa, a place where the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean and two continents intertwine to provide the city with its unique character; where Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus live together, forming large communities.

Fuente del Barriche

There are many water fountains that we can see in Laroles, made with stone slabs.

History of El Burgo

For reasons lost to history, it was probably abandoned by the time Roman settlers arrived in the first century BC; few settlements larger than small pueblos flourished in these harsh conditions. The Romans probably built a (now lost) bridge across the Rí­o Turón here to serve their road from Ronda to Malaga, and used it as a trading base and staging camp on to Ronda and elsewhere.

Adult Courses in Andalucia

There are many opportunities to participate in adult education programmes in Andalucía. To a certain extent your options will depend on your language skills.

Ayuntamiento

In 1980, work on the Town Hall was completed. The building contains the Court, Guadalinfo Centre, Post Office and Local Police office. Located in Plaza Andalucía.

Police

The Guardia Civil wear green uniforms and are less reactionary today than they were during Franco's control. They are responsible for national security, customs and for crowd control at large events. Their traffic department patrol the main highways with cars and motorbikes and organise radar speeding checks.

Iglesia de San José

Previously the grain store of the Marquis, the building was later converted into a temple around 1888. At present it has been converted into a municipal exhibition hall and a multipurpose space. The church responds to the typical scheme of the Order of Carmelites.

Matalascañas Beaches

As well as being home to part of Doñana National Park, the municipality of Almonte is home to the village of El Rocio which sees an annual pilgrimage of over a million pilgrims at Pentecost. The beaches here are very popular with naturists.

La Reserva, Sotogrande

La Reserva is the name of the most recent section of the Sotogrande development, including a sixth golf course to be developed under the brand La Reserva Sotogrande. It is located in the Sotogrande Alto, or 'high' mountain side of the coast road, and to the east of the A-2100 road to Castellar.

The initial development of this area began post-2000, including the relocation of the Sotogrande School and the La Reserva Golf Course and Club House, including the front line of villas accompanying the course.
