General Info |

The traditional village house is situated on the edge of the village opposite a shady pine forest. We have two double ensuite rooms plus a family suite with adjoining twin and double rooms with a shower room. We have a comfy lounge with satellite TV and a sunny roof terrace with stunning views over the village and surrounding countryside.
Known as "balcony of the white villages" (or balcon de los pueblos blancos), El Gastor is a typically beautiful Andalucian mountain village with meandering cobbled streets, charming flower-decked whitewashed houses and a typical village square. Located just above the shores of Lake Grazalema and on the edge of Sierra de la Grazalema Natural Park, the surrounding scenery is stunning and breathtaking.
This traditional, yet lively village, has everything you could want - everything from beautician to butcher - and countless tapas bars all within walking distance. |

El Gastor is a typically beautiful Andalucian mountain village with meandering cobbled streets, charming flower-decked whitewashed houses and a typical village square. Located just above the shores of Lake Grazalema and on the edge of Sierra de la Grazalema Natural Park, the surrounding scenery is stunning and breathtaking. There are numerous outdoor activities available close to our B&B including horse riding, mountain biking, walking and hiking, rock climbing, canyoning and even paragliding (the World Championships took place a few years ago in nearby Algodonales). The village itself is situated just above the shores of Lake Zahara which is popular for fishing, kayaking, canoeing and swimming. |

Further Details |
El Gastor could not be better placed to visit the rest of Andalucia. It’s just 20 minutes from the historic town of Ronda, perched spectacularly on a gorge spanned by the famous Puente Nuevo. Ronda is renowned for its beautiful Moorish architecture, one of the oldest bullrings in the country and the many Roman ruins. Within an hour's drive are the cities of Seville, Jerez and the port of Cadiz with the famous seafood area of Puerte de la Santa Maria. Less than 2 hours drive is the world famous Alhambra Palace in Granada and the stunning city of Cordoba. Closer at hand are the magical white villages (pueblos blancos) of Arcos de la Frontera, Setenil, Grazalema and Zahara de la Sierra - to name but a few and all worth a visit. For nature lovers and artists alike, the Grazalema and Sierra de la Nieves Natural Parks boast exceptional flora and fauna and amazing landscapes.

We recently stayed at El Gastor B&B during our 10 day tour of the area. This was the jewel in the crown - John and Jackie made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The room and facilities were excellent - every little detail had been thought of and they have a beautiful home. Rating 11 out of 10!

How sad we are to be leaving your lovely home which we have felt was ours too over the last few days. We leave with such lovely memories of a beautiful place and look forward to an early return. Thankyou John for your delicious breakfasts. El Gastor and yourselves will certainly come top of our recommendations.
