Jimena de la Frontera
Jimena de la Frontera is one of the enchanting "White villages" of the Ronda mountains. It is sited on a freestanding hill crowned by a romantic Romano-Moorish castle. Below it runs the beautiful oleander-fringed Hozgarganta river rated the cleanest in Spain, the haunt of the kingfisher, blue rock thrush, terrapins and otters. The village borders the beautiful dramatic and unspoiled Alcornocales Park where the wildlife ranges from eagles and vultures, bee-eaters and great tufted owls, deer, wild boar, genets and mongooses to scarce swallowtails, two tailed pashas and salamanders as well as over two thousand wild flower species. The village, with its sister village of Gaucin, is situated mid-way between the south coast and Ronda. It is only an hour from Gibraltar airport, two from Malaga airport , two and a half from Jerez airport and three from Seville. It is within easy reach of the coast and many historic old towns and villages.

There are something like sixty golf couses between Malaga and Gibraltar!. The nearest is Valdarrama (of Ruyder Cup fame) in Sotogrande. A golf course is presently being built 3 kms from Jimena.
