Restaurants

Ronda has no shortage when it comes to finding a place to eat. There are restaurants and tapas bars located all around the town, some with terraces that provide an idyllic place to sit and enjoy your meal whilst looking over the famous gorge. Prices can be extautionate in central locations, so don´t be fooled.

Car & Auto Parts

In Andalusia, as with anywhere in the world, the search for the right auto part for your vehicle, boat or machinery is a potentially time-consuming exercise. For those living in Andalusia the task can be made more difficult if you speak little or no Spanish. Even for fluent Spanish speakers, discussing engine parts can present an extra challenge.

Ermita de la Trinidad

The construction of this hermitage dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It was built on an old lazaretto where the sick from the cholera epidemics that hit Andalusia at the beginning of the century were isolated.

Watersports - Kayaking and Paddle-boarding

Kayaking and paddle-boarding are increasingly popular sports along the Andalucian coast. Kayaking is very similar to canoeing, except kayakers use a double-bladed paddle, whereas canoeists use a single-bladed paddle; and kayakers sit in their kayak, while canoeists sit or kneel in their boat.

M-240 bus Estepona to La Linea

Service runs west to Sabinillas, Guadiaro and La Linea (for Gibraltar). This bus leaves the bus station goes along Avenida de España to stop in Estepona town centre (opposite Town Hall) and near Marina before travelling west to La Linea.

Popular festivals in Carataunas are Fiestas Patronales de San Marcos, Romería del Padre Eterno and Fiestas de la Virgen de la Paz.

Castillo de Espelúy

Among the most representative buildings is the castle from the Caliphate era. It was the first written reference to Espelúy from the thirteenth century, when the General Chronicle reported that it was one of the Muslim castles attacked and destroyed by Fernando III “el Santo” in 1224.

Los Alamos Beach Festival, Estepona

Electronic music and dance festival. First edition of this modern dance festival was in 2015 when 20.000 attended at Los Alimos beach in Torremolinos. The festival grew in popularity up to 2017 when the festival outgrew the the site of the popular resort town of Torremolinos  (Malaga).

Stroll Around the village

Gaucin is delightful village, to just stroll around in the sunshine and here we have highlighted the curiosities of the village. Walk into the village on Calle Luis de Armiñan, past the Convento de los Carmelitas, built in the 18th century and abandoned in 1835. Now owned by the town hall, this is used as a civic building and sometimes holds art exhibitions by the many artists living and working in the town.

Benarrabá

This hidden village can only be approached by car, along its own short but mountainous 3-kilometre road. To find the turn off, look for Gaucín on the map and the junction to the right is 5 kilometres to the north. The municipal district was probably much larger as the pueblo was once the site of an important village.

Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol

Construction of this church began under the first Marquis de los Vélez, Don Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, as soon as works on the castle concluded in 1512.
