The many places of interest include the Sauceda spot (where the town hall is equipped with sleeping cabins) the Buiteras gorge in the guadiaro river,the beautiful city of Seville,the historic city of Ronda, with its deep ,divisive ,ravine.To the east,in Granada,is the wonderful,world class heritage of the palace and gardens of the Al hambra ) whilst to the west,for wildlife lovers, is the unique reserve of the Cot de Donana , home of the Iberian Linx.(pre booking req'd)The whole region is yours to explore,safe in the knowledge that you're never far from a friendly hostalry happy to serve a wonderful tapas at all times!.

The shortest and most convenient approach route is probably by air (B.A.) to Gibraltar and then by road (E15 motorway) east to Manilva/Gaucin-Cortes. (Alternatively we reccommend Easyjet to Malaga with special rates on Europcar car hire at the airport and then by (E15) west to Manilva , then as above.
