Country Adventures

In spring time, visitors can enjoy the sight of the flowering almond groves - a time when the hillsides are covered in delicately coloured trees for miles.

Throughout the summer, each Spanish town has it sown festival or “feria” - unique in flavour and style. Guaro, the nearest town, a few kilometres away, celebrates its feria in August.

In addition, Guaro is famous for its annual “Luna Mora” (the Moorish Moon) festival in September, when the streets are alive with Arabic music and market stalls selling everything from food and drinks such as Moroccan delicacies, herbal remedies and products made by local artisans. The town celebrates late into the night, whilst the narrow streets stay bathed in light from thousand of candles perched on balconies, in doorways, hanging from stalls and along paths.

For golfers, the nearest green is on the way to Alhuarin el Grande or the world class resorts of Marbella.

The Marbella Gun and Country Club, nestled in the next valley, is only 10 minutes way, offering a superb array of activities from clay-pigeon shooting to quad biking, mountain biking, horse riding, all-terrain go-carting and archery.

Walking/hiking through the hills and valleys is a superb way to spend the days and local companies also provide 4 x 4 safaris. Visitors can explore the castles, white villages and lakes of the area.

For those who prefer a more leisurely day, taking a drive through the pueblo blancos of the Serrania de Ronda always delivers a fascinating journey.
