Ronda is one of Andalucia's loveliest towns, stands on a towering plateau and is famous throughout Spain for the plunging river gorge which divides the medieval from the 18th century parts of the village. Ronda is also famous for its bullring, the oldest in Spain. Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Cadiz are all within easy reach for day trips as is Tanger, with Morocco 35 minutes from the ports of Tarifa or Algeciras. The famous Valderrama golf course is 90 minutes away as is Jerez, the home of sherry. Some of the world's finest, pre-historic cave paintings can be seen at the Cueva de Pileta, which is only 15 minutes drive from Casa Halcon. The Cueva (Cave) and its 25,000 year old paintings are available to view daily and well worth a visit. The Romans ruled this part of the world for 400 years and left behind a fortress complete with amphitheatre and viaduct in Ronda. The Moors were in charge here for 8 centuries and constructed some of Ronda's finest buildings, including an impressive bath.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Ronda, Spain

MORE ABOUT THE AREA: Ronda is the most famous of the 'pueblos blancos' or white villages, so named due to the white-washed stone houses and cobbled streets that are typical of the region. Casa Halcon is in the foothills of the Sierra de Grazelema, one of the most stunning national parks in all of Spain. Higher up in the mountains, near the white village of El Bosque trout fishermen can try their luck in a clear stream that cuts through the rugged mountains of the park. The area is also a paradise for bird watchers. From the terraces of Casa Halcon you can even see eagles and falcons hunting in the valley below.

The house is nestled in an olive grove but also has pomegranate, fig, oak and fir trees as well as an abundance of fresh rosemary which guests are free to pick. During August the vines that run the entire length of the house produce sweet grapes which are delicious and can be picked.

The area is also a paradise for hiking or just leisurely walks including in the national park at Grazelema or in the Sierra de las Nieves national park, both of which are only a few minutes drive from the house.

Other Activities: bird watching

Excellent Premises and Location

The Gang of Six Uxbridge
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Excellent setting, mountain views from all windows. Everything absolutely as described in write-up, even down to watching the Eagles soaring overhead while swimming in the pool. (Actually I'm told it was Griffin Vultures that we saw - nearly everyday).

Friendly and helpful service provided by the local agent, everything was clean and well maintained.

There were no insect grills over the windows (good solid wooden shutters though), and care needed to be taken which windows or doors to leave open if not in the room.
We had an unwanted visit one afternoon from "Basil" ("Mr Fawlty - He no Rat - He Hamster !"). This caused some stereo-typical mayhem, screaming, standing on beds etc (girls) and much amusement (boys).

No shopping or eats near the farmhouse, but plenty of shopping, eating and sightseeing in Ronda, plus good walking very close.

We stayed at the house most days, the solitude, the views and the pool was holiday enough. Walking wasn't a favourite for the kids (ages 7, 12 and 13) due to the excellent hot weather, but we did get them up early one morning for a picturesque stroll over the mountains - following instructions given to us by the owner. We ended up at a nearby village, where we enjoyed a beer or two while waiting for the taxi-ride home.

We also visited the Estapona beaches (not easy to find) plus day trips to Jerez, Gibraltar and Selwo Wildllife park (expensive but big hit with the kids). Plenty of other stuff was planned, but will have to wait until next time....

Definitely recommended.
