Jimena is set in lovely rolling countryside, with a castle at the top and a river round the bottom. In early summer there are many bathing pools, but for the less adventurous, the village has two public swimming pools, one at the campsite and one beside LA CUENCA restaurant.
It is an ideal centre for walking and bird-watching. Griffon Vultures can almost always be seen, several types of eagle, and by the river, Kingfishers, bee-eaters and nightingales. You can walk in any direction from the village, encoutering very different sorts of scenery.
The coast, Gibraltar, beaches, supermarkets are just half an hour away by car.
