Local activities

The village of Gaucin lies 600 meters up in the “Serrania de Ronda” mountians. With spectacular views to Africa there is so much to do. Within a 20 min drive you can lie on the Mediterranean beaches, the Atlantic beaches in an hour, go skiing, visit Gibraltar or Portugal, go to Granada & the Alhambra Palace.
At Easter you might see bulls running down the street in Gaucin as it is the only other place in Spain, other than Pamplona, where they have running of the bulls, smaller ones than Pamplona!
Gaucin is surrounded by stunning scenery & the area is highly recommended for those interested in bird watching, walking or mountain biking.
