The owner´s comments
Benamahoma village is located in the reserve area of the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Reserve; it is one of the most attractive corners in the Pueblos Blancos route (white towns) It is on the slope of a small valley surrounded by some impressive escarpments among evergreen oak woods and vegetable gardens.
A trout river has its source in its surroundings and its course crosses the valley flooding it with the freshness of its limpid water and leafy riverside vegetation.
Arab people, during their eight centuries stay, marked the identity signs of this village; they are reflected on its culture, on the architecture of its houses, the whiteness of the whitewashed fronts, the red colour of the tiles, the use of water, etc.
The present road that leads us to Benamahoma was made in the 70s; this fact has kept this area isolated as the time has been passing; at the same time, this has let it keep the charm and magic of nature in all its almost intact splendour until nowadays; this very nature that has taken root in the life of a small group of peasants and stockbreeders who have worked their land and exploited their pastures in total harmony with it.
Nowadays, this town has gained some development favoured by a rural tourism that is responsible and respectful with the environment; at the same time, it offers the visitors some comforts like shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a chemist´s, a bank and a modern public swimming pool.
The house has some room for from 2 to 6 places. It is at the edge of Benamahoma, in a very calm and wooded area. It has one floor and it has been comfortably equipped with a typical decoration. It has been recently restored and all the equipment completely renewed.
Activities
Due to its natural characteristics, trekking routes or other typical mountain activities can be freely practised in the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Reserve
However, there are several companies in this area which are specialized in organising all kind of active tourism activities like the following ones: bicycle routes, horse rides, hang-gliding or paragliding, speleology, going down canyons, climbing, bungee jumping... etc.
Interesting Places
Declared as the Biosphere reserve by the UNESCO, the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Reserve is considered as one of the most beautiful ones of the South of Spain. It is located in some part of the western massif of the Serranía de Ronda, and it is situated between the provinces of Cadiz and Malaga, bordering on the province of Seville.
Due to its central location, you can go to several one-day trips to see and know the main cities and coasts of the West of Andalusia: Arcos, 35 km. away; Ronda, 40 km. away; Jerez, 65 km. away; Cadiz, 100 km. away; Seville, 110 km. away; Malaga, 150 km. away.
Among the numerous marvels that this park has, there is a really exceptional botanical richness with vast woods of evergreen and gall oaks, cork trees and Spanish firs (real living fossil of the tertiary age)
In its rich fauna, there are some extraordinary mammals like wild goats, deer and roebucks; some predators like ichneumons, common otters, foxes and genets; and birds of prey like common vultures, Egyptian vultures, ospreys and golden eagles.

We have visited Benamahoma for 5 consecutive years. Each year we have stayed with Cadiz Rural in Casita del Albarracin. Why? Because we have found paradise! Over the years we have used the house as a base to participate in the rhythm and festivities of the town. We have eaten delicious food in the local restaurants, refreshed ourselves at the municipal pool and enjoyed spectacular views, sunsets, moonrises and starry skies over the sierra. Each year we arrive with anticipation and leave, relucta

Somos una pareja de Sevilla,hemos pasado 18 días inolvidables en este bello pueblo,que nos cautivó nada más verlo.Estuvimos en dos casas,una de Albarracín y otra del Labradillo,son sencillas y acogedoras,y es cierto que en una había grietas,pero no creo que merezca la pena ni comentarlo,hay que recordar que están en zona de montaña.Cuando necesitábamos algo se lo pedíamos a Manolo o a Paca y al momento nos lo conseguían.Y que decir del clima,algunas noches tuvimos que taparnos con mantas.El encl

Hemos estado una semana en una casita del Labradillo y nos ha parecido estupenda. Un entorno precioso y una casita muy coqueta, a la que daba gusto llegar después de una buena ruta, tiene calefactores y en la casa no hacía frío. En el patio puedes escuchar el trino de los pájaros durante todo el día y Manolo, el encargado, es una persona muy agradable, que antes de que digas algo ya te lo ha proporcionado. En fin, siempre que podamos y haya sitio repetiremos. Totalmente antiestres.
Una Feliz Estancia,

Primero que todo quiero manifestar el excelente trato contraido, tanto del propietario que tuve el gusto de saludar en persona en mi ultimo alojamiento como de manolo el encargado.Les felicito por el maravilloso trabajo que hacen juntos ya que las casas estan en perfecto estado cuando acedes a ellas y hay gente que no lo varola.Auque como dicen:"el libro de los gusto esta en blanco".
Para los clientes mi opinion:
he estado en algunas casas del mismo propietario y especialmente en la del labr
