  Montejaque is one of the beautiful white villages of Andalucia. It is located 15kms from fabulous Ronda and lies in the Grazalema Natural Park. The village has a long history reaching back to the time of the conquest by the Moors. It is built on a rocky hillside above a valley of sunflower fields, olive groves and vineyards . In this traditional Spanish village you will, like us, soon feel part of rural Andalucian life where it is so easy to relax and enjoy a peaceful time away from the pressures of modern life. As you walk to your house you follow steep, winding streets which thread their way between whitewashed cottages, whilst a few steps further on the edge of the village, sheep and goat bells can be heard as the animals meander about the surrounding hillside. 
Moreover the 21st century has bought some changes so albeit you can
not beat the traditional tapas there are several delightful restaurants,
bars, shops even a fishmongers with incredibly cheap fresh fish. You
will be able to buy almost everything you need for self catering in
the village shops even a leg of fantastic Jamon de Serrano from the
village factory. The newly refurbished hotel in the main square does
particularly good food whether you want tapas or a full meal.For those who like to be active there is no shortage of leisure activities. There are many walks that wind away from Montejaque through the mountains, cork forests and farmland of the Grazalema Natural Park where you can enjoy spectacular scenery in solitary splendour or walk through local cave systems seeing the 25,000 year old cave paintings. Other activities that can be arranged in the area by our local agent include horse riding, climbing, caving, gorge descents and mountain biking. For a change of scenery you could visit Ronda, Seville, Jerez, Gibraltar or Granada or explore the surrounding National Parks, the beaches of Marbella to San Pedro or even visit the wild beaches of the Costa de la Luz. Another option is a day trip to Africa by catching the ferry to Tangiers.  Montejaque is hot in summer but tends not to suffer overly from the summer heat due to its height and it rarely rains between May and October. There is a lovely pool in the centre of the village that can be used by our guests at a nominal cost. There are also other pools a short distance away by car. Our village houses have no direct access by car so your holiday will start with a walk from your car in the village square back in time through the narrow winding streets of pretty whitewashed houses.
