The village’s whitewashed houses and terracotta roofs, spread across the hillside, mark it as one of the pueblo’s Blanco or white villages of Andalucia. It is overlooked by its castle Castello del Aguila (Eagles’ Castle) and enjoys spectacular views down the valley of the Genal River to the Mediterranean Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains of North Africa. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the area is of particular interest to those who enjoy walking and bird watching and is on the main migratory route from Europe to North Africa. The area offers many walks with interesting flora and fauna and, by car, tours to the many pueblo’s Blanco of Andalucia. The Costa del Sol is approximately 25 minutes drive, its golf courses 30 to 40 minutes drive and the Atlantic beaches are accessible within one hour’s drive.

Casa Mirador

Peter and Liz London
Review Submitted: August 30, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The house is located in a perfect position with beautiful views from the house and pool down to the south coast of Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco but also immediate access to the local shops (lovely little traditional Spanish grocers) and restaurants (brilliant cheap Tapas bar in one of the squares). Day trips to the beautiful town of Ronda, less busy parts of the coast of Spain (eg Tarifa/Cadiz), and Morocco are great fun. We were there during Fiesta in early August which makes Gaucin town more lively but does mean some noise at night (the house is 10 minutes walk from the main centre of festivities but you can still hear the music through the night). We have older teenage girls who found it a great place to relax during the day and go into the town for the late evening (but note, it wouldn't be suitable if you had children looking for a lively night culture). The house is well furnished and spacious, with a very helpful local manager, Pam. The pool is immediately accessible to the house and is shared with two other properties (we don't mind sharing but others might).The property is 90 minutes by car from Malaga airport. Car is essential if you are to get about - but beware narrow streets in hill towns. There were six of us and we got up-graded to a Chrysler Voyager which didn't fit through some of the narrow streets! Overall, the property is great value for money.

Our Stay in Gaucin - A Brilliant House

SlimJim Wlitshire, England
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Five of us stayed at this house in September 2008. We were met by Pam, a lady who lives nearby. She was very helpful, telling us of local restaurants and shops. We had a really great time - mainly thanks to this house. The views were stunning and the house was very accommodating so we never got under each other's feet and there was ample parking for the two cars.
We ate out most evenings but one of our number, an enthusiastic cook, decided to cook for us on three occasions and managed OK in the kitchen area. Although the pool is shared with neighbours, there was no-one there during our stay so we had it to ourselves. However, it wouldn't have been a problem if the neighbours were present. The stay was as relaxing or as busy as we wished to make it, With Gibraltar, the Costa and the mountains close to hand, and with local walks available, we had plenty of things to do. One day was spent lazing around with a book. This was quality time - albeit spoilt a little by the barking dogs that were being kept in a nearby property. All in all, we had a good time and we rate the house very highly indeed. Quite a find! There were one or two minor issues - dodgy chairs, broken parasol... but these were minor annoyances and other aspects more than compensated. We are planning to return in 2009 - there will be six of us next year. That's a good recommendation!
