The Alhar\u00eda is located in the Genal Valley, the so-called Valle del Genal<\/em>, which is part of the mountain range Serran\u00eda de Ronda<\/em> in the Andalusian province of M\u00e1laga. The finca belongs to the municipality of Genalguacil, whose village is 10 kilometers across dirt roads from the Alhar\u00eda. The finca is located in a secluded location with picturesque views of the Valle del Genal, the surrounding mountains and the villages of Genalguacil, Jubrique, Benerrab\u00e1 and Gauc\u00edn. Due to its location at 375 meters above sea level, the climate is pleasant year-round with average highs of 30\u00b0C in summer and 17\u00b0C in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Valle del Genal<\/em> is known for its pueblos blancos<\/em>, white villages that are characteristic of this region and got their name from the heat-repellent lime painting of the houses, as well as the exceptionally lush and varied vegetation of Andalusia. The latter also led to efforts to appoint the valley as a nature reserve. In addition, Central and Northern Europeans have increasingly moved to the Valle del Genal<\/em> in recent years, so that today an international community is characteristic for the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nearest major cities near the Alhar\u00eda are Ronda and Estepona – each 1.5 hours away by car – while the provincial capital of M\u00e1laga is a 3 hours’ drive away. All three cities are tourist hotspots of the region. In addition to mass tourism, nature parks, such as the Sierra de Grazalema, or hiking trails, such as the Gran Senda de M\u00e1laga (GR249), which passes directly by the Alhar\u00eda, attract some visitors to the hinterland of Andalusia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
