Gaucín is in a privileged situation within the
Serranía de Ronda: due to its proximity to both the
most interesting Walk through Gaucín and discover its Castillo del Águila, the church of San Sebastián and its typical andalucian white streets. In less than an hour by car, you can also visit many of the other White Villages like Algatocín, Benadalid, Benalauría and its most interesting Ethnographic Museum, Benarraba, Atajate, Benaoján, Casares, Jimena de la Frontera, Cortes de la Frontera... Only 42 kms away from Gaucín, you will find the city of Ronda. An absolutely must-do visit with its very impresive Tajo, palaces and the oldest bullring of the country. The finest coastal resorts are at aproximately the same distance: 
Estepona (46km) and Marbella (66km) both extremely lively
and with excellent beaches.
We strongly recommend you one of the most beautiful beaches of Andalucia, the Bolonia beach, 1h20 min from Gaucín, it constitutes a very impressive dune area. At the same time you can profit to visit the roman ruins of Baleo Claudia. Other one-day journey possibilities are the monumental city of Antequera, the crossing of the Strait to Tánger (Maroco) at only three hours from Gaucín ( including the ferry ) or Seville at 2h15 by car. You can also visit any of the protected Natural Reservations in the region ( all of them less than two hours from the hotel ): Sierra de las Nieves, Grazalema, Los Alcornocales, and the Torcal de Antequera. This region is specially rich from an ornitologist point of view; besides being a region naturally rich with bird species, it is also a turn point in the migratory paths between Europe and Africa. 
Nature can be discovered by foot through any of the many traced paths, or, if you prefere, on horse. Other activities can include walking through the local forests, exploring the Pileta cove to admire the prehistoric paintings or swimming in the Genal river.
