ABOUT THE AREA

Gaucín is a town and municipality located in the mountains of Andalusia in the province of Málaga in southern Spain. It is inland from Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona and not far from Ronda. Gaucin is a spectacularly beautiful mountain village commanding sweeping views to Gibraltar and North Africa. The village is a gateway to the Serranía de Ronda where, depending on the time of year, you can enjoy an impressionist palette of colour: brilliant brush strokes of red poppies, yellow mimosa, purple wild orchids, tempered by the cool green of olive groves and occasional splash of pale pink almond blossom. Indeed, Gaucin is famous for its international artists' community.

The town has a population of less than 2,000, and its narrow medieval streets and tall, narrow houses are sprawled picturesquely over two hills and the adjoining land between them. Perched high above the deep River Genal valley, Gaucin is overlooked by the imposing the Sierra del Hacho mountain. The village is 626m above sea level.

As you would expect from the name, it is not unusual to see eagles circling the towers here, and kestrels nest in the walls of the convent. Gaucin, like many other birding sites in this part of Andalucia, has plaques around the town showing both native and migrating birds which can be seen in the vicinity.

The main monument of Gaucin is the Castillo del Aguila, visible from almost anywhere in the town. This fortification was built by the Romans, later occupied by the Visigoths and finally reinforced by the Arabs. During the Carlist Wars (civil strife for the throne of Spain that took place in the XIX century) was used as a military fortress, but an explosion in 1848 destroyed most of it. It consists of three walled enclosures that preserve several towers, three wells, an underground escape passage and the chapel of the Holy Child. This chapel dates back from the XVII century and in its interior, a polychrome image of San Juan de Dios is found.

In the complex of the Castillo del Aguila is the Museum of the Canyon, where a tour of the role of Gaucin in the war against the French troops of Napoleon is made.

To know the traditions and tasks of rural life of the Serrania de Ronda, you must visit the Ethnographic Museum of Gaucin. This centre exhibits an extensive catalogue of instruments and ancient tools. In the Cañamaque street, you will find the parish church of San Sebastian, built in 1505 on a mosque. Although it is of baroque style, its facade and bell tower have a renaissance air due to a major reshuffle in the XVII century.

It also highlights the Convent of the Carmelites Descalzas, which is situated on the old chapel of Veracruz. Built in the early XVIII century, the convent was abandoned in 1835 and is now used as headquarters of the Cultural House of Gaucin. In the central square of Gaucin you'll find the Fountain of the Six Spouts. Built in 1628 and of baroque style, it has six carved stone faces emerging from two separate water jets.
