We like to present you some pictures of the most traditional villages you could find in the sourrounndings of Gualchos-Castell de Ferro. Some of them are coastal agricultural and others are mountain Villages or "Cortijos" which is the traditional andalucian house or group of houses which are dedicated to their piece of land. The Villages here shown belong tothe coast site, the "Contraviesa" range of mountains and the low Alpujarras from the south face of Sierra Nevada, up to one hour ride away. We are working to introduce a map to lacate most of this spots...
