LOCAL INFORMATION

San Pablo de Buceite lies in the Guadiaro valley 50 km north of Gibraltar and midway between the ancient Moorish “white villages” of Gaucin and Jimena de la Frontera. It is within an hour’s drive of Ronda and day trips can be made to Seville, Granada and Cordoba. The nearest beach is at Sotogrande (30 mins) and Tarifa, famous for its windsurfing and endless white sand beaches, is one hour away. There are many golf courses at Sotogrande and horse riding and tennis are available near Jimena (10 mins). Gibraltar with its military history and duty free goods is 45 minutes and from there it is possible to join a boat and go dolphin and whale watching – very popular with all ages.

The ancient town of Jimena de la Fontera is crowned with a Romano-Moorish castle and the surrounding hills contain rock shelters with cave paintings as well as rock-cut tombs dating back to the Bronze Age. The Pileta Caves on the way to Ronda are well worth a visit.
