Description: |
La Estrellita is a bright, airy and peaceful village house, equipped to a high specification in the local Andalusian style, and located in the centre of Gaucin down a quiet alley just off the towns widest street where there is easy free parking.
Gaucin is perhaps the most beautiful of Andalusia�s Pueblos Blancos, or White Villages, surrounded by picturesque and varied scenery studded with olive, oak, carob and chestnut trees. Perched 630 metres (2,000 feet) up on a mountain balcony against the backdrop of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range, and window to the famous Gaucin view down the Genal River Valley to the Mediterranean coast, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco. Here, in this unspoilt country village of only 2,000 inhabitants, there is a small but well established international community ensuring that all year round there is a lively and varied range of �tapas� bars, cafes (including an internet caf�!), restaurants (mainly April to October) and other essential services (ATM, pharmacy, post office, market, shops, supermarkets, taxis, public swimming pool in summer etc). There is also a railway station, on the scenic line from Algeciras to Ronda and beyond, just a 10 minute drive from Gaucin. For those of you who need to stay in touch, mobile phone reception is also excellent, and there is a nearby telephone booth.
Gaucin lies on the edge of two of Andalusia�s impressive National Parks, Los Alcornocales and Sierra de Grazalema, which offer stunning walking and mountain-biking opportunities. For bird watchers, it is also on the flight path of migratory birds between N Africa and Europe.
Magnificent Ronda lies 45 minutes drive to the east along the famous White Villages route passing a string of other picturesque �pueblos blancos�. To the south, the Costa del Sol�s beaches, golf courses and other attractions are only 30 minutes away. A little further a-field the exotic Rock of Gibraltar. newly-discovered Tarifa, the wide open Atlantic beaches of the magnificent Costa de la Luz and the Donana Wetlands bird sanctuary are to be found to the west. If youre looking for more sophistication and culture the fascinating historical cities of Sevilla, Cadiz, Jerez, Cordoba and Granada are all readily reachable.
