Genalguacil

Artists who gather here every two years leave their work behind, so Genalguacil's cobbled lanes are lined with murals, sculptures and carved tree trunks, and even house numbers and benches get an artistic touch. The village lies in the Genal valley of the Serranía de Ronda, on steep ground rising towards Sierra Bermeja, and its Arabic name means 'gardens of the vizier'.

Highlights
