GAUCIN the balcony of the Serrania de Ronda overlooking
the plains of the Campo de Gibraltar and offering
stunning views to Gibraltar and Morocco beyond.
Gaucin is arguably the prettiest village in the Serrania
de Ronda and undeniably occupies the best position due
to the unrivalled views towards the Mediterranean Sea
and Africa beyond.
Despite it’s turbulent past with invasions by
Phoenicians, Visigoths, Romans and Moors, Gaucin today
is a haven of peace. No-one rushes anywhere, the pace of
life is gentle and visitors are soon imbued with a sense
of well-being. The village is situated at the end of the
mountains of the Serrania de Ronda in an elevated
position with the remains of the Moorish castle as a
romantic backdrop and a maze of streets and alleys that
straddle below it. It is fortunate to have a large
number of architecturally desirable properties that have
remained unspoilt. There are several good restaurants
and bars and interesting shops selling local products
and works by village artisans
