BENADALID: Secret Serrania

Este Pueblo Blanco se asienta en la ladera de la Sierra de Benadalid donde destaca el conocido como el Tajo de los Aviones donde se encuentra la Vía Ferrata.

Está situado entre los valles Genal y Guadiaro al lado de la carretera Gaucín-Ronda. Sus calles empinadas y estrechas de trazado árabe bajan hacia el valle del Genal y llegan a la plaza Beni Al Jali, nombre con el que se conocía a este pueblo ya en el siglo VIII. Aquí se alzan el Ayuntamiento y la Iglesia de San Isidoro.

En la parte más baja del pueblo está el legado histórico más importante, es el Castillo de Benadalid de origen romano que respetaron más tarde los árabes.

Alpandeire

Alpandeire clings to the steep southern side of the Genal valley, very near the source of the river that names the valley. Many springs below the village feed the Genal, which is one of the most important rivers in the region and the subject of no little ecological campaigning. The…

Arriate

With an area of only 9 square kilometres, Arriate is the smallest municipal district in the province of Málaga, surrounded on all sides by land belonging to one of the largest - Ronda. Enter it from any direction, and it appears to be a sleepy rural village waiting, with no…

Atajate

Atajate is a small white village in Serranía de Ronda, perched between the Guadiaro and Genal valleys. With a privileged location in a wonderful natural setting, it is the starting point of several hiking routes. The Church of San José or San Roque is the main tourist attraction in town…

Benadalid

This white village perched on the slopes of the Sierra de Benadalid where you can find the well-known as the “Tajo de los Aviones” (cliff of the planes), and where the Via Ferrata is. It is located between the Genal and Guadiaro valleys next to the Ronda - Gaucín road.…

Benalauría

The road which links Gaucin with Ronda affords the traveller an impressive view of the mountains covered in the green of cork oaks, gall oaks and chestnut trees, into which the white villages of the Genal Valley are set like jewels, with streets which still conjure up the magic of…

Benaoján

Between the solid mass of limestone of the Sierra de Libar and the River Guadiaro stands Benaojan, which still retains the essence of the Arab-designed villages with their narrow streets and whitewashed houses. Nuestra Señora del Rosario Church is its most noteworthy building, and the cured pork sausage industry which…

Benarrabá

Today, Benarraba is a bustling village which makes its living from woodcutting, agriculture and cattle farming, as well as enjoying deserved renown for its hand-made pork products. In response to the ever-increasing demand for mountain holidays and the peace and quiet to be found in spots populated with chestnuts, pines,…

Cartajima

Cartajima stands 845 metres above sea level, next to the crag of the same name. Its privileged situation at the top of the Genal Valley affords the traveller spectacular panoramic views: to the south stands the Genal Valley while the peaks of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range lie to…

Cortes de la Frontera

Sandwiched between the Alcornocales natural park and Sierra de Grazalema natural park in the far western reaches of Malaga province is the pueblo blanco (white town) of Cortes de la Frontera. It is in a superb vantage point overlooking the sweeping Guadiaro valley below, with a spectacular backdrop of the…

Faraján

The name of the village, Farajan, comes from the Arabic language and means "pleasant location". It is without doubt a most apt denomination as its geographical position at the head of the River Genal gives it a singular charm. Situated among deep ravines traverse by streams flowing into the River…

Gaucín

First village of the Serrania de Ronda on the road from Gibraltar to Ronda. Located in the Genal River Valley it stretches across the hill between the Sierra del Hacho and the Castillo del Aguila where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Genal River, Gibraltar and the Coast of…

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…

Igualeja

Approaching Igualeja along the road which leads off the San Pedro de Alcántara to Ronda highway near the Sierra de las Nieves, the traveller is met with a superlative view of the Genal Valley, as it is here, at the entrance to the village, that the river which flows through…

Jimera de Líbar

Jimera de Líbar is a pueblo blanco (white village) in the Guadiaro valley. Part of the municipality falls inside the Parque Natural Sierra de Grazalema, a protected natural area. It provides the village with some of its most beautiful landscapes and ideal spots for outdoor activities. The municipality comprises two…

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.

Júzcar

Júzcar is situated in the Valle del Genal. The municipality is situated approximately 22 kilometres from Ronda. The town had been one of the White Villages of Andalucia, with buildings traditionally whitewashed. But in spring 2011, buildings in the town (including the church and gravestones) were painted smurf-blue by Sony…

The lower district, with its modern streets, is…

Parauta

A white village in the Serranía de Ronda mountains whose Andalusi past is visible in its urban design, consisting of steep, narrow streets of whitewashed houses topped with Arabic roof tiling. Outside the village centre is the famous Valdecilla holm oak, one hundred years old and an impressive sight with…

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.

Ronda

Ronda - the City of Dreams - is in the big three Andaluz tourist attractions, behind Sevilla and Granada, in the early 21st century. However, it retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic views, and for the El Tajo gorge…
