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 population centres. The main village itself is perched on the mountain slopes. And then there is the Barrio de la Estación (the railway station neighbourhood), 2km away, on the banks of the river Guadiaro. The parish church and Finca El Tesoro are among the main historic attractions in this village in the Serranía de Ronda.

The area is celebrated for its fertile agricultural landscapes, remote rural charm, and proximity to 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…

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.

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.

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…

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…

Cartajima

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,…

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…

Algatocín

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.…

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…

Montejaque

A white village in the Serrania de Ronda mountains whose urban design bears witness to its Andalusi past, with steep, narrow streets and whitewashed houses with Arabic roof tiling; a past that is especially evident in the upper district of the village. The lower district, with its modern streets, is…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Malaga’s spectacular El Caminito del Rey gorge walk adds 110-metre-long suspension footbridge, the longest of its kind in Spain

Malaga province’s spectacular El Caminito del Rey gorge walk has a new landmark: a 110-metre-long suspension footbridge, the longest of its kind in Spain, which is now open to the public. This structure, installed just before the area above the railway bridge and the El Chorro tunnel, creates an alternative route for the final section of the Caminito, making the experience even more spectacular and enhancing visitor safety. It has cost 1.5 million euros and has been covered with own funds generated by the Caminito that must be applied to improvements, as established by the concession fee – currently managed by the UTE Sando, Salzillo Servicios Integrales and Mundo Management. The president of the Diputacíon de Málaga provincial authority, Francisco Salado, and the president of the Junta de Andalucía regional government, Juanma Moreno, inaugurated the footbridge during an event also attended by the mayors of Álora, Antequera and Ardales, Francisco Martínez, Manuel Barón and Juan Alberto Naranjo, respectively, and the mayor of Valle de Abdalajís, Virginia Romero. Salado recalled that ‘the spirit of El Caminito’ made it possible for different administrations of different political persuasions to join forces for the recovery of this enclave. “What seemed like an impossible project,” […]

Diputación invests 3.1m euros to resolve movement of road linking Ronda and villages in the Guadiaro valley

The Diputación de Málaga provincial authority is carrying out a major stabilisation and refurbishment project on the nearly nine-kilometre-long MA-7401 road, which connects Ronda with Benaoján and also provides access to other municipalities in the Guadiaro valley, such as Montejaque, Jimera de Líbar and Cortes de la Frontera. The works, awarded for 3.1 million euros to the joint venture Albaida Infraestructuras, SA, Talleres y Grúas González SL, and Tecnoasfalto Levante SL, focus on resolving serious problems of landslides and road surface deformation and will continue until the beginning of next year. The president of the authority, Francisco Salado, has visited the works along with the mayors of Benaoján and Montejaque and pointed out that this is the largest economic undertaking carried out on a provincial road in recent years. “It is a road,” he added, “that runs through the municipalities of Ronda and Benaoján and has suffered from continuous landslides, so various improvement works were carried out, although they only partially resolved the problems. Therefore, the road repair was highly demanded throughout the region, and our commitment to the residents of Benaoján, Montejaque, and Ronda was to undertake a permanent solution.” Salado stressed that this project demonstrates the Diputación commitment […]

Provincial authority and Bishopric launch Málaga Sacra plan with restoration of church in Benaoján

The Diputación de Málaga and the Diocese of Malaga have signed an agreement for the conservation and rehabilitation of churches, parishes, hermitages and temples of historical and heritage character in the province, the Málaga Sacra plan, which is has a budget of eight million euros. The president of the Malaga provincial authority Francisco Salado, and the bishop of Malaga, Monsignor José Antonio Satué, have sealed the agreement to launch this plan, which will begin with actions in the church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, in Daimalos, a district of Arenas; and in the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, in Benaoján. Salado stressed that the agreement stems from the Diputación de Málaga’s conviction that religious heritage is not only an important cultural and tourist attraction for the municipalities, but is much more than that. He emphasised its importance because many of the churches declared as Cultural Heritage Sites or included in heritage protection catalogues are in a state of advanced disrepair. In fact, the mayors of the province had frequently requested a plan of this kind. “In villages,” he added, “churches and chapels are the main historical, cultural, social, and even symbolic landmarks, and the social life […]
