Chestnut & Village Life Museum

Pujerra, in the Genal valley, is home to a fascinating museum that celebrates the area’s fame as a producer of chestnuts and also gives an insight into how the people of the area used to live in the 19th century.

The exhibits are spread over three floors of an old house located in the heart of the village.

On the ground floor is an area dedicated to the chestnut and its importance to the local economy. There is also a reception area, tourist information point and a small shop.

Access to the second floor is through a small courtyard. There are recreations of a salon, kitchen and bedroom of the period, while on the third floor is another exhibition space with a display of children’s toys in a nursery.

Visits to the museum are by appointment only. Contact the town hall on 952 183 513.

Jubrique

As is the case with the rest of the villages in the Genal Valley, Jubrique stands on mountainous terrain, its streets and houses adapted to the uneven land on which they were built, thus creating the architectural layout so typical of the Serrania de Ronda region.

Genalguacil

Nestled in the Genal valley between Sierra Bermeja and Río Genal, and surrounded by such extraordinary scenery that it is worth driving on the winding mountain road to access the village. Above all, Genalguacil is nature, as most of the municipality is forest land, here is one of the largest…

Pujerra

Pujerra is one of the Upper Genal's most characteristic villages; standing next to the river, it is shrouded in dense chestnut forests; between summer and autumn, when these trees are at their finest, the colourful contrast between the whitewashed village houses and their green surroundings becomes even more evident.

Cartajima
