About Montejaque and Andalucia

The village of Montejaque couldn't be in a better location if you're wanting to escape the Costa crowds. It's a charming, traditional Andalucian ‘pueblo blanco' (white village) with some of the friendliest and most welcoming locals you'll find anywhere in Spain.

It's set in the stunning mountainous scenery of the Serrania de Ronda and Sierra de Grazalema National Park with enormous potential for walking and a whole range of adventurous (and not so adventurous) outdoor activities. These include rock climbing in andalucia, mountain biking in Andalucia, hiking and walking in the mountains and valleys of Andalucia or horse riding in Andalucia. Above the village eagles and vultures soar on the thermals on the rocky mountain face of El Hacho (the Axe), the area is a a bird watching in Andalucia mecca. The nearby Caves at Piletta, where you can see early pre-historic cave paintings, are an absolute must – but don't expect a slick guided tour and stylish gift shop. It's much better than that!. The village itself is a maze of narrow streets and there's more than a few bars and cafes to explore as well as the odd restaurant, this is a quiet, rural place –real Spain!

You won't find too many English speaking people here, but the locals are always happy to welcome outsiders. You'll probably spend quite a bit of time in nearby Ronda. Although a busy tourist centre (and for good reason) Ronda is a wonderful place. Let it get under your skin. Here you'll find restaurants aplenty, one of the oldest bull rings in Spain (well worth a look, even if you hate the idea of the ‘sport' and Ronda's main attraction, El Tajo – the enormous, stunning gorge. Linger on the Puente Neuvo and dare to look down into the gorge's depths (trying not to think about the poor people who used to be thrown to their doom from where you're stood).

If you can drag yourself away from the snail's pace village life of Montejaque or the buzzing atmosphere of Ronda, why not go on a day trip further afield, the magnificent cities of Granada, Malaga, Jerez or Seville. In fact, if you've got time, you could do both – arguably two of the most wonderful cities in Spain. If you want to sample some beach life, the coast of Marbella is just under an hour away or one and a half hours to the Costa de Luz.

There are hundreds of things to do and see, too many to mention – we would suggest buying a good guide book such as ‘The Rough Guide to Andalucia' and read it all for yourself. we supply a lot of local information and are happy to try and advise on what to see and do to match your interests
