Whichever way you do it, you’ll walk through some of the most stunning scenery around. The fast-flowing Guadiaro, which winds its way through the valley, accompanies you for large parts of this walk, as does the single-track railway line which takes trains from Granada to Algeciras along a picturesque route built by Scottish engineer, Sir Brodie Henderson, at the beginning of the 20th century. http://www.secretserrania.com/2016/04/our-green-day-out-in-the-guadiaro-valley/

La Cabalgata de 2016, Ronda

Cueva del Gato, Benaoján - the Cat Cave - crystal-clear and exceptionally cold water rushes out of the mountainside and into a natural lagoon. A fantastic spot for a picnic and/or to cool off after a morning’s sightseeing in the Serrania Ronda. Take the road from Ronda to Benaoján and look for a parking area on the right. There's a small sign for the hotel/restaurant Cueva del Gato to help you locate it. Park at the top and walk down the concrete road to the hotel. Cross the wooden footbridge (in need of repair) over the river, and then under the railway bridge. If you head up to the mouth of the cave be careful - the stone steps can be slippery and there is no handrail. It is forbidden to venture into the cave.

Finca Maridadi is quite simply sublime. THE most perfect house in THE most perfect location.

The setting is superb, deep in the heart of the breathtaking Andalucian countryside just to the East of historic Ronda. The house itself is first and foremost a home - and elegantly betrays its former role as one.

Appointed exactly as one would choose for one's own holiday retreat, it has absolutely everything that one could wish for. A wonderful pool with ample terrace forms the amphitheatre for both relaxation and (child-induced) high jinx. The terrace is where everything happens - from breakfast through to the quaffing of excellent local wines late into the evening. Downstairs, the kitchen is perfect - with space to dine - and the sitting room has oodles of DVDs, Sky Sports etc for downtime during the heat of the day. Upstairs, the rooms are large and airy with plenty of bathrooms. The gardens are stunning and kept immaculately by the splendid Lawrence, an expat motorcycle enthusiast and all round good egg, who visits daily.

The local area is dominated by beautiful Ronda. A favourite of Hemingway and Welles, this jewel has plenty to see, a bewildering array of restaurants, but also all the practical stuff like supermarkets to keep Maridadi suitably victualled. It is just over an hour north of Malaga Airport and about the same from Marbella beach should the lure of the coast prove too much to resist. There are also a profusion of amazing restaurants in the countryside around Maridadi, to which Robert and Caroline can provide details and tips. A trip to one or two of the bodegas (all within 5 miles) can prove a rewarding, if somewhat squiffy, experience as well.

So, all in all, it is simply a 'must visit'. You'll love it...

A really wonderful holiday. We have enjoyed the villa so much. In an understated way it has everything we could possiblyl need. We loved the atmosphere of Ronda and explored Seville, Cordoba and Cadiz. Thank you villa Los Olivos. Thank you Caroline and Robert and thank you so much for your beautiful surrounding countryside. We will be back soon.

Los Olivos was a very calming respite for our family and the surrounding area’s natural beauty was breathtaking. Thanks to Caroline and Robert for kind assistance and guidance especially La Muelle de Arriate and its owner Frank. Best food of the vacation.
