The feel

Gaucín is one of the most celebrated white villages in the Serranía de Ronda, with a castle, a church and views that stretch across the Genal valley to Gibraltar and, on clear days, the Rif mountains of Africa. It has a strong international community, a lively arts scene and a handful of good restaurants. It is beautiful, well connected and more cosmopolitan than its size suggests.

The property

The village is resale and renovation, with villas and country houses in the surrounding hills. New-build is limited and often high-end; check access and planning.
