General Information about the Hotel and Area
Walking - Hiking Trails
Located in the mountains, we have lots of trails to explore throughout the area. There are four trails that start right here in the village of Júzcar. Information is provided on the Júzcar Village Website or contact us by email or a call.
Desserts
While here, why not enjoy one of the fabulous desserts created by Chef Iván? Highly recom-mended by this writer is the Burnt Chestnut Cream, oh so delicious, simple yet scrumptious, pic-tured above. Chef Iván also normally has an array of special desserts on offer.
Views
El Bandolero is fortunate to have such spectacular views one can enjoy from the bar terrace, your room terrace or walking in front of the hotel. The Bandolero faces el Jardón and el Romeral, two forested areas within the village limits.
Cooking Classes
Cooking classes with Chef Iván can be arranged prior to your arrival. Contact us by email for details on class synopsis and pricing. Cooking classes can be especially fun when organised for a group of friends or family.
Outdoor Seasonal Pool
Our exterior pool has a season from mid-June to early September. Re-fresh yourself mid to late afternoon from the intense Andalusian sun. Ideal spot to watch the sun set.
Nature
We are located in the heart of the Ronda Mountains and we are surrounded by glorious nature. From all sorts of birds to wild mushrooms to the hundreds of wild flowers that pop in the spring, we enjoy an abundance of seasonal nature in this valley.
Dining al Fresco
Our dining options include on the terrace, al fresco, in our cozy bar or, in the winter season, the salon of La Bodega del Bandolero. Also available in busier times and for groups of up to 55 diners.
Terraces
Our room terrace on the second floor is a common area, one where you may enjoy the stellar views, make new friends, relax and listen to the birds. One might enjoy the hoots of the returning owl in the pine trees.
Seasonal Tourism
This area has distinctive seasons, spring and autumn being the most spectacular for the colors and variety of the flowers including the very fragrant yellow chestnut flowers. Autumn is a color explosion for the eyes to enjoy with the autumnal foliage of the chestnuts, a not so common sight in Andalusia. In winter, we may even see some snow.
Birds and Wildlife
The birds and wild life one might spot is exciting and abundant. This area has the largest population of Griffon vultures in Europe so one may see a wave of vultures or just a couple swirling around in the sky. One may spot a snake eagle, nightingale, black bird, wood peaker, owls, partridges or a stork among the many. And foxes, boar, snakes, frogs, rabbits are other types of wildlife roaming the local countryside.
White villages
The Genal Valley has a total of 15 white villages that one may visit and explore, all very traditional and small, surprisingly still not widely known in larger tourist circles; that point alone should be make this area quite attractive and desirable to the discerning traveller. Perfect for escapes from the crowded urban areas, wherever you reside.
Chestnuts
The Serranía de Ronda is one a the few areas in Spain that cultivates edible chestnuts. The chestnut tree has leaves that change color with the autumn chill giving us that fantastic autumnal color before the leaves finally drop. This high foliage color point normally occurs in the first two weeks of November. The chestnut trees flower in May/June again providing color to the valley of a bright yellow accompanied by a strong pungent fragrance for a few short weeks before sprouting their chestnut fruit.
