Montecorto Real in Andalucia
 Montecorto Real is a family concern offering beautiful individual
houses, most with pools and gardens, for the discerning holidaymaker.
The owners live in the village of Montecorto and are on hand if
assistance is needed and they personally supervise the properties.
English, Spanish and French are spoken. They seek to make your holiday
as happy and as memorable as possible but are never intrusive.
All of our houses are within 15 minutes drive of Montecorto, which
is itself 20km from the beautiful town of Ronda. Some would say that
Ronda is best seen at sunset when the Andalucian heat lifts from
the town and the surrounding sierra turns from bleached lemon to
yellow ochre. The town comes alive with restaurants, bars and cafes
buzzing.
 This wonderful town with its Moorish architecture,
old palaces and cool gardens make for a very beautiful destination – the ideal
place to enjoy more sophisticated Andalucian gastronomy, shop in
elegant boutiques, admire the lovely ceramics and be amazed by the
famous gorge – El Tajo.
The dramatic mountains and the villages of Grazalema, El Gastor,
Setenil and Zahara de la Sierra (and many more) are situated in some
of the most stunning settings of Andalucia. The cities of Granada,
Seville, Cadiz and Gibraltar, together with the Mediterranean coast,
are all in easy reach for a day trip. Enjoy breathtaking views of
the beautiful countryside by driving, walking or horse riding.
The Spanish love Fiestas and celebrations. All summer
long there are parties and each village, town and city has it’s
own Feria. The celebrations usually start in the evening and continue
throughout
the night. The Feria of Ronda takes place around the first weekend
of September and is known as the Goyesca and takes its name from
Goya. There are many street parades with many people dressed in the
traditional Goyescan costumes. The Corrida (bullfights) is the centrepiece
to this famous Andalucian Feria and takes place in the oldest bullring
in Spain. It is impossible not to enjoy yourself when amongst this
weeklong festival of celebration.
 The Ferias of Montecorto and El Gastor take place in July and August
respectively, each with their own unique flavour.
Other important festivals take place at Easter – Semana Santa
the most religious of all – Corpus Christi in El Gastor usually
in June and Navidad (Spanish Christmas) on the night of 5th January
also known as the Reyes Magos (Three Kings).
This special place is rich in Spanish culture and you can indulge
yourself to the full in this intoxicating atmosphere of fiesta, flamenco
and fun. There is much to see and enjoy here. You may even find time
to relax by the swimming pool!
For the comfort and safety of all, we request that guests do not
smoke inside the properties.
