Andalusia is a region where nature lovers can walk endlessly, city dwellers can relax and where you are never bored. And also, very importantly, the Sun. Andalusia is the sunniest part of Spain and Europe where you can sit on your terrace for breakfast and the winter is quickly forgotten.
Ronda is the heart of the pueblos blancos. It is centrally located between Malaga, Seville, Jerez, Cadiz, Granada and Marbella. The center of attention between the white villages, situated in a beautiful stunning nature. An unspoiled region with small villages which have their "typical" Andalucian charm. The residents always have something to celebrate, there is always something to do. Many traditional festivals, concerts and always a square filled with children playing, eating and small terraces. Much food and drink.
In winter you can ski in the mountains around Granada, in the summer you lie on the beach of Marbella or the surf beaches around Tarifa and Cadiz. In the spring you drive to Seville with the shopping streets, the many tapas bars, the overwhelmingly beautiful churches and monuments and in the autumn you visit Jerez, the sherry town of Spain.
Around Ronda are two big important natural areas, the Sierra de las Nieves (Snow Mountains) and the Sierra de Grazalema, both untouched.
Every village has its own customs, festivals and have their own charm. The area of the white villages is vast and offers plenty of variety so many recreational possibilities. From walks, hiking and cycling, to flamenco, courses, concerts and a visit to a bodega. A place for families with children. Spain has a strong family tradition where children are always welcome.
The landscape of Andalusia is enormously varied. There are vast areas where you can walk and protection dede vultures and eagles hovering over the wooded hills and flower rich valleys. Small rivers and streams traverse the landscape. Each season has its charm. In the spring the fields are in full bloom, the white almond blossoms. The holidays are celebrated, culminating with the Semana Santa processions, golden litters and lots of music. Summer is hot. The lush bougainvillea blossoms, the land turns yellow with sunflowers, take a siesta every afternoon and life takes place on the terraces and squares. The autumn is warm. The olives and grapes are harvested, the cork trees "stripped", and sausages and hams are made. The winter is also agreeable. The tops of high mountains are slowly white snow, while you enjoy sitting outside. This season also brings much needed rain, not in comparison with the Netherlands also.
One area where we have given our heart to and life is good.
