A beautiful country property with a private swimming pool and spectacular views

Finca la Luz is nestled in the country hillside, set in an acre of carob, olive and almond groves. With magnificent mountain top views and of the Castillo de Aguila (Castle of Eagles), said to date back to the Romans.

A 10 minutes walk up the rustic track and you arrive in the charming whitewashed village. A tangle of narrow, winding streets which was once a haven for brandy and tobacco smugglers. Here you will find authentic tapas bars, fabulous restaurants, supermarkets and unique shops.

Gaucin, the birthplace of opera’s most famous heroine Carmen, is situated in the idyllic Serrania de Ronda, 620 metres above sea level. The romantic pueblo blanco in Andalucia has been described by The Times as having the ‘Best views in Europe ‘ and The Telegraph as ‘the most picture-perfect of white-walled Spanish towns’. With the breathtaking landscape across the River Genal Valley, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco.

Gaucín is famous for the international artists living in the whitewashed village.
Hidden amongst the streets are the studios of more than 20 artists. They open up their doors to showcase their latest works during Art Gaucin which is held every year. A truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Local festivities are passionately celebrated in the village, from the summer feria where the local band march through the village, riders in sombreros and this year’s beauty queens in horse-driven carriages. Other celebrations include Easter, Santo Niño and more...
