Walking

Mr Henderson's Walk” to Jimera de Libar is recommended. This is a 90minute (approx) walk along the valley following the course of the river and railway. The views are beautiful. At some points you are just by the river and at other times you are high up looking down into the valley. Many people catch the train back to the village, often after a lovely meal at the local restaurant at the station (Querus).

You can also walk to the Cuevo del Gato in the opposite direction. This walk takes you along the river again and there is lovely hotel en-route where you can stop for a coffee or a lovely lunch by the river. At the end of the walk are the caves with a waterfall. There is another small restaurant there for those that get thirsty. The walk takes about half an hour and the flowers there are particularly beautiful in the summer.

For those with more energy could continue this walk onto Ronda!

There are many longer walks in the area. A book detailing many walks is available in the house.

Pileta Caves

The pileta caves are about a 20 minute drive away. The caves go a long way underground and have some of the oldest cave paintings in Europe. The underground chambers and lakes are fantastic.

Setenil de las Bodegas

Setenil is a village that is built into the mountains. The houses have brick fronts but the mountain forms the back of the houses. We would recommend that you park near the top and then wander down to the village. A market is held there on Friday morning.

Ronda

Ronda is just a fifteen minute drive away or you van take the train. At the centre of the town is a spectacular gorge. The views are fantastic. Ronda also boasts one of the oldest bull rings in Spain. There are also many museums and Moorish buildings. On a practical note there are several supermarkets in the "industrial" area as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, internet cafes, restaurants and shops. There are plenty of underground car parks which are well signposted. Sunday is also market day here, by the football stadium off Avda Malaga.

Zahara

The lake at Zarhara is wonderful. You should try to find the road down to the lake by the turning to El Gastor from the Seville Road. After seeing the lake, go on to the village of Zahara and climb upto the castle. The views are amazing!

Gibraltar

The drive to Gibraltar is well worth it. The natural park, Europa point, siege tunnels, caves, cable car, Barbary apes, canons.....Also cheap spirits and petrol! Please remember to take passports and that you are limited to a litre of alcohol each. Some people prefer to park at La Linea and walk across and then negotiate on the price of a tour with one of the many licensed taxi minibuses.

Coast

The drive to the coast is spectacular and takes just over an hour. There are many beautiful beaches - but lots of people! Be aware that although the harbour at Puerto Banus is beautiful - check the prices of the underground car park before you park. We managed to park in one that cost nearly €20 for just three hours in 2006!

Cities

The cities of Granada, Seville, Cordoba, and Jerez can all be visited in a day. We cannot do justice to them by describing them here but would recommend that you research this further!
