Further details
El Gastor is a beautifully preserved white village, which despite belonging to the renowned White Village Route is not over run with tourists. With its white washed houses and narrow attractively paved streets, it is a delightful, truly Spanish village.
There are several bars and restaurants where you can enjoy local dishes and wines, and you can try out your Spanish with the friendly locals when using the village shops and Thursday market.
There always seems to be some festival or celebration going on every month, so you can experience the rich Spanish culture all year round. Corpus Christi in El Gastor is a sight to behold, as is the village's week long feria, with its own unique flavour,in August.
The Ronda Goyesca with its Corrida (bull fights) and intoxicating atmosphere of 'fiesta, flamenco and fun' takes place in September. Ronda is a wonderful town, with Moorish architecture, old palaces and cool gardens, all making it a very beautiful destination - the ideal place to enjoy more sophisticated Andalucian gastronomy, shop in elegant boutiques, admire the lovely ceramics and be amazed by the famous gorge - El Tajo. Some would say that Ronda is best seen at sunset when the Andalucian heat lifts from the town and the surrounding sierra turns from bleached lemon to yellow ochre. The town comes alive with restaurants, bars and cafes buzzing.
There are many beautiful walks and an abundance of wild bird life in this wonderful area. Where else could you swim with eagles flying overhead or go horseriding through the dramatic mountain passes?
