The Guardia Civil is the oldest law enforcement agency in Spain. It is organised as a military force charged with police duties under the authority of both the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence. As part of its daily duties, the Guardia Civil patrols rural areas (including highways and ports) and investigates crimes there, whilst the Policía Nacional deals with safety at urban situations. Many towns and cities also have a Policía Local. The three forces are nationally coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior. The Guardia Civil is usually stationed at casas cuartel, which are both minor residential garrisons and fully equipped police stations.

Restaurante Rincon del Cani offers traditional and imaginative cuisine in El Colmenar. The village of El Colmenar is found nestled in one of the narrower Guadiaro river valleys. Flanked on one side by the river and on the other by the mighty Los Alcornocales Parque Natural (Natural Park). Around the village there exists evidence that confirms that the valley had initially been inhabited in the Roman era. However, it wasn’t until close to the end of the 19th century with the construction of the railway line that the population started to gather around the recently built railway station building, giving birth to the community now known as both El Colmenar and Estación de Gaucin.

The Buitreras canyon, declared a Natural Monument of Geological interest by the Junta de Andalucia, is a narrow gorge 3km up river from the hydroelectric plant.
