Winter Breaks in Andalucia, Spain
♫ “All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gr—” ♫
Oh. Wait. The sky isn’t grey and not all of the leaves are brown, because this is Ronda in Southern Spain.
But is the weather turning colder, greyer, and wetter where you live? If you’re starting to long for sunshine, why not book a winter break in Andalucia? Here are a few reasons why Andalucia is the perfect place to visit during the winter months.

Reset, and start 2020 in a peaceful frame of mind
It’s almost the end of November, meaning there are only a few weeks of frantic shopping time remaining before Christmas. ‘Tis the season to be jolly, with office parties, family gatherings, social events, and lots and lots and lots of food and drink, culminating in the grand making of resolutions on New Year’s Eve. If simply the mention of the holiday season sets your heart palpitating as you worry about the work you need to finish before the year end and a busy, and perhaps difficult, social schedule, consider this: you could take advantage of low-cost flights during January and February, rest your mind and body, and reset to start the new year in a more peaceful frame of mind at beautiful La Cazalla de Ronda.
In troubled times, some tree appreciation
At a time when the world is focused upon climate change, and during the month our trees hang with their annual bounty of fruits and nuts, we felt inspired to write a blog in appreciation of trees. Trees don’t only provide health benefits by producing oxygen. Scientists have demonstrated a link between trees and reduced instances of cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, stroke, and diabetes. Looking at trees calms us and has a positive effect on mood, self-esteem, stress, and depression. So take a break from your screen and look out of the window or go for a walk, and truly admire the trees around you. Or to thoroughly immerse yourself, book a stay at our luxury villa rental in Ronda and relax in our secluded country home, surrounded by sunshine and trees.
Marvellous May in Andalucía
With an average temperature of 17°C/63°F, 10 hours of sunshine a day, and the last of the glorious spring flowers splashing colours across the meadows, May has always been one of our favourite months in Ronda. It’s the perfect temperature for outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, and yoga, and during the evenings, it’s warm enough to dine outside on the jasmine-fragranced terrace. It’s just heavenly.
Additionally, there’s just so much going on in and around Ronda in May. There’s the MotoGP in Jerez, the Battle of the Flowers in Córdoba, the 101km endurance race, and the Ronda Romántica festival, to name just a few of May’s annual events.
