Monda area

Monda is a lively and very real Spanish Pueblo. Life goes on as it has done for centuries. The village of Monda currently has numerous bars, restaurants, supermarkets, a butchers, pizzzeria, bakeries,tapas bars in fact everything for the daily essentials you may need. Monda Castle and Marbella Gun & Country Club are well worth a visit for their breathtaking views! There are two large shopping malls within 20 minutes drive of the village, and the tourist destinations of Ronda, Granada, Seville and Cordoba are easily accessible

On every Tuesday morning there is a market where you can purchase (amongst other things) fresh local fruit and vegetables for a tiny cost compared to the shops.

You still see old farmers crossing the square with their loaded donkeys on their way to their olive and orange groves. Tractors are hard to find in Monda. The surrounding fields are cultivated as they have been for ever. Hard work for most and a bit easier for those who have a mule and a plough. The oldest oil mill is in the centre of town. It is 200 years old. An amazing place to visit with the olive mill run by a steam machine heated by burning wood from old olive trees. The huge cone formed granite stone there pressing the olives for their juice is the same as what must have been used for generations. The farmers still come in from the countryside to sell their olives to the mill. They transport their olives in big canvas sacks, loaded on donkeys.

You can also enjoy different activities such as horse riding, trekking, quad biking, shooting etc... in the Natural Park Sierra de las Nieves.

The countryside around Monda is stunning and you become amazed that you are only 20 minutes away from the beaches of Marbella. It is so peaceful and beautiful.

It is a tiny town with a population of two thousand five hundred, beyond Ojén along the C-337 road, crouching in a mountain valley at a height of 1200ft.

A few years ago it was a much-favoured drop-out spot for hippies without the inclination or energy to reach Marrakech or India. These have now largely disappeared and left Monda to its own devices, perhaps because the recently built road linking it to Marbella has made it so accessible. Its dominant feature, which the approaching visitor can hardly miss, is the castle which stands above it.Inside it is sumptuously decorated in Moorish style and offers superb accommodation and cuisine.

It has a long history. The site was originally occupied by an Ibero-Roman fortified enclosure established in the 3rd-1st Centuries BC by the Romans for use by the indigenous Iberian population and to protect the road to the more important town of Coín. When the Romans left it fell into decline and remained neglected until the Moors came along and used the spot to build a fortress.
