Sleeps 4 (1 bedrooms)

Nestling in a beautiful fertile valley just 15 minutes from the picturesque, historic town of Ronda with excellent restaurants, tapas bars and shopping facilities. Setenil de las Bodegas, a village which features numerous splendid tapas bars carved into the side of a cliff, is just 10mins away. The cottage is perfectly placed for visits to Seville, Cadiz and Cordoba, as well as the magnificent Alhambra in Granada. The Grazalema National Park, and the lake alongside Zahara de la Sierra, is just a few minutes away. Within an hour or so you can reach Malaga, Seville and Jerez Airports, and the gorgeous beaches of the Costa de la Luz. Truly a haven to enjoy a cultural break, or for the more adventurous, the perfect base from which to explore this amazing region with its incredible scenery, its varied bird and wildlife (vultures and eagles everywhere!), or to just simply escape the rigours of everyday life, relax and chill-out with a chilled local Rioja!

Accommodation notes

The coast of the Costa del Sol with its many sandy beaches, bars and restaurants is within an hour, whilst the less developed and quieter Atlantic coast between Cadiz and Tarifa (long sandy beaches and great for wind-surfing) is another 45 mins. For the intrepid traveller, a day trip to Tanger is also possible with a fast ferryboat from Algeciras or Tarifa it takes from just an hour to reach the excitement of North Africa. You can also head along the coast to the British enclave of Gibraltar.

Nearby Activities

Golf
Ronda will have a golf course soon, but for the time-being there are alternatives at Antequera (c.45 mins), Arcos (c.30 mins), and, of course, the Costa del Sol has dozens around Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, Alhaurin, etc.

Travel distances

Ronda is reached by car within 15 minutes, Setenil within 10. Jerez, and its airport, takes just over an hour, with Cadiz a little further. Seville and Málaga are similar distances. A cross-country and stress-free drive to Córdoba will take you 2 hours, and Granada around 2-and-a-half. The communications and main roads are great, and even though the distances may seem huge, the traffic is light so accessing any of these cities is a pleasurable day-trip.

Skiing

The Sierra Nevada, and the resort 'Solynieve', is well worth visiting, as is the wonderful city of Granada at the foot of the mountains.

Special interest

This whole area, the Serrania of Ronda, is renowned for its outdoor activities: walking, rock climbing, cycling, paragliding, horse riding, fishing, canoeing, ballooning and wildlife watching. It's all waiting to be explored! Locally, as well as the dramatic scenery, you'll find pretty and quaint white-washed villages - such as Setenil, Zahara de la Sierra (with its stunning lake), Grazalema, Olvera, Montecorto and El Gastor.
