Steely grey mountain tops, soaring eagles, deep valley vistas, verdant chestnut trees, white villages, big sky, wild flowers & cactus, mountain goats, boars, black pigs & rabbits.. these are some of the scenes to behold while staying at Hotel Bandolero. El Bandolero, a small & charming rural hotel, is tucked away in one of the seven small white villages of the Upper Genal Valley in the Ronda Mountains .
Owners David and Ivan welcome you to their charming accommodation in the village of Júzcar where you can escape all the pressures and stress of urban life. Experience the pace of traditional Spanish living while relaxing on the terrace, sampling local Ronda wines and tapas as you enjoy the marvellous views that the lush chestnut tree country of the Upper Genal Valley has to offer. Energetic springtime visitors will get to view some of the 2,000 species of blossoming wild flowers in the pristine valley while on marked walks between the seven white villages of the upper valley. Autumnal visitors will enjoy the changing colours of the chestnut trees while summertime visitors can swim & relax poolside at the hotel or participate in extreme outdoor adventures in and around the Genal River in Júzcar. For birdwatchers, there are varieties of migrating birds year round and, for everyone, the mountaintops offer spectacular views, including all the way to Africa !
