This charming village house in glorious Gaucin is perfectly situated for exploring Andalucia. Sleeping up the seven people, the house can comfortably accommodate couples, family groups and groups of friends. With its original features, terracotta floors, chestnut beams and a private swimming pool, it’s a wonderful escape.
Gaucín is a pretty whitewashed village on the edge of the Serranía de Ronda mountain range in Andalucia, with views to Gibraltar and Morocco. Since the late 70s it has attracted bohemians and artists from other parts of Europe and has become known as something of an artist’s colony. Every May Art Gaucin takes place, with 25 or more local artists, painters, sculptors and photographers opening their studios to the public.
Gaucin itself, although small, has lots going for it. There are several restaurants (one of which was famously overhauled by Gordon Ramsay), catering for all budgets. The main square is a fabulous place to sit and watch the world go by. Gaucin is a great place for birdwatching and the village has plaques on some of the walls to help you identify the vultures and eagles which you sometimes see circling overhead. Activities such as hiking, tennis and riding are all available in the vicinity.
