Home description
La Cancela is situated in the Llano de la Cruz valley ten minutes west of Ronda. To one side are views of the spectacular Sierra de Ronda mountains and to the other the gently undulating farmland of the valley. The property is perfect for two couples or family with up to 2 children. La Cancela is a wonderfully relaxing place to stay and very well placed for visits to the famous Andalucian White Villages, as well as Seville, Jerez, Granada and the beaches of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz. The villa and garden are immaculately maintained with a pretty flower filled covered terrace for al fresco dining. All the rooms are all light and airy and furnishings, fittings and bed linen are of the highest quality. The owner lives very close by and is available to cook for guests as well as being on hand to help with any questions, reservations etc.
There is an abundance of things to do during your visit when you feel like a change from swimming, soaking up the sun or reading in a shady corner of the garden including biking, riding, ballooning, golf, tennis and walking. You can even fit in a visit across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco accompanied by your own guide.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
The town of Ronda is known as the 'City of Dreams'. The town was a favourite of Hemingway's and is the home of the oldest and most famous bullring in Spain. The old and new parts of Ronda are separated by the Tajo gorge that plunges to a depth of 150 metres or more. The surrounding countryside is steeped in ancient history dating back to the Moorish and Roman occupation. Close by are the Roman ruins of Acinipo as well as the historical Cuevas de Pilata and Cuevas del Gato. The many picturesque Pueblos Blancos 'white villages' are well worth a visit as are the cities of Seville (home to flamenco), Granada with the stunning and much visted Moorish citidel the Alhambra and Jerez which is home to the sherry bodegas and Andalucian Dancing Horses. Our local climate is continental with hot days and cool fresh evenings throughout summer and warm clear days and cold frosty nights during the winter months. The climate is very rarely sticky or humid. The surrounding countryside is mostly arable or planted with olive groves and vineyards. There are several well known wine bodegas close by Ronda which are well worth a visit.
Ronda area
Ronda is a famous bullfighting town with statues to its home bred heros Pedro Romero and more recently the Ordonez family. The two grandsons of the famous torero Antonio Ordonez are Fransisco and Cayatano Ordonez who are amongst Spain top matadors. The views overlooking the gorge and Puente Nuevo (built in 1740) and surrounding countryside are spectacular. Crossing the bridge into the Cuidad or old town a steep path heads downwards to two 18th century palaces, the Palacio de Salvatierra and the Casa del Rey Moro built over Moorish foundations. There are several churches worth visiting including the iglesia Santa Maria La Mayor. Ronda is also hosts many interesting Tapas bars and excellent restaurants as well as the Alemeda park, a theatre and cinema. Every town and village in Spain has an annual feria to celebrate its local saint day. Ronda's feria takes place during the first week of September when the town comes alive with music and dancing and of course its famous Goyesca bullfights. A festival not to be missed.
