El Gastor Village Lodgings

Friendly, relaxed, family run bed & breakfast in the beautiful white village (pueblo blanco) of El Gastor in the heart of rural Andalucia, southern Spain. We also have available a fully renovated rustic village house and a separate studio apartment for those who prefer self-catering.

El Gastor is the perfect location to base yourself to enjoy the stunning scenery of the nearby Grazalema Natural Park, the Sierra de Ronda and the Sierra de la Nieves. There are loads of outdoor activities available - horse riding, mountain biking, walking and hiking, rock climbing, canyoning and para gliding (the World Championships took place 3 years ago in nearby Algodonales). We are situated just above the shores of Lake Grazalema which is popular for fishing, kayaking and canoeing and swimming in the turquoise waters. Just a 40 minute drive and you reach the new championship golf course at Arcos Gardens, Arcos de la Frontera and a little further on the Motorcycle Grand Prix circuit at Jerez.

Wildlife watching is fantastic; ibex, eagles, griffon vultures and many species of migratory birds. In the spring there is an abundance of wild flowers (including several indigenous orchids) which make walking a delight.

Furthermore, you could not choose a more central location to enjoy sightseeing in the great Andalucian cities of Jerez, Cadiz, Seville, Granada and Cordoba. Also, not too far away, are the coastal resorts of the Costa del Sol and the unspoilt Costa de la Luz.

All in all, a perfect holiday area for those who wish to experience the real Spain and enjoy its people and the Andalucian way of life.
