A stunning train journey

Andalucia Express: Algeciras � Ronda
One of Europe�s great short rail journeys, this 50-mile stretch through
the Ronda mountains was built from 1890-1892 by the British so that their
officers, and passengers on cruise ships bound for the east, could escape
the heat of Gibraltar by heading upwards. There are four trains each way
per day. Ronda is a 32 minute ride and the price is 2 Euros! It was a
British engineer named Henderson who was responsible for the construction
of the Ronda-Algeciras line. The train that plied this route came to be
known as the Smugglers Express. It went so slowly that contraband butter,
cocoa and tobacco from Gibraltar could be sold from the train windows!
The little horseshoe of houses is virtually next to the River Guadiaro.
The village - Jimera de L�bar -is in a valley surrounded by a nature
reserve and is a great favourite with birdwatchers. Numerous walkers and
birdwatdhers' websites mention how excellent the restaurant near the
station is - it is a few steps from our door. There are a number of
bars/restaurants five minutes drive away in Cortes, and a particularly
lovely well-known restaurant Molino del Santo, fifteen minutes drive away
at Benaoj�n.
From May/June until mid-September there is even a little makeshift bar on
the river bank run by our Spanish friend Mari-Angeles.
Inside - tiled floors throughout. The living room has dining table, a
sofa and armchairs Hi-Fi and working open fireplace; beyond there is a
separate fully fitted kitchen. The back door opens from here on to the
tiny rear patio - just room for the four chairs and small table.
Upstairs are two bedrooms � one double, one twin. There is also air
conditioning!
The outdoor space is just the tiny patio at the rear. There is also the
communal lawn outside front door which is nice to sit out on.

Three minutes drive away is the newly constructed municipal outdoor
swimming pool in a breathtaking setting a little higher up the valley.
Open only June to early Sept.
Gaucin and Ronda (both on the train line moments from your front door) are
each just under thirty minutes drive. There are lots of quiet white
villages around and also well-marked walks.
The Griffon Vulture is one of the wildlife spectacles in the area. The
coast is about one hour by car. Or take the train down to Algeciras -
about 5 Euros each way(!) and catch a boat to Africa.
