Yunquera is charming village combining the old traditional rural life with just enough of a selection of Bars,restaurants and small food shops to make for an ideal 'off the tourist trail' holiday.I suspect most 'tourists' are Spanish (weekenders with Villas and walkers - there's a campsite a little way outside the village) and you certainly need to use your best 'holiday' Spanish and sign language, but everyone is extremely helpful and friendly. As the property description says, you have breathtaking views over the mountain and if you look out early you will see local farmers driving their sheep up the road to higher grazing or taking their mule up to their land to work for the day.( you do get a little 'rural' smell in the air :-) We loved lying by the pool watching the odd cloud refection in the pool and the light change on the landscape beyond - and then there was watching the Alpine Swifts swooping in for a quick sip of water from the sparkling pool...
The villa has been stylishly designed, with a lot of attention to detail, to make the most of it's location and is well equipped with everything you would need to cook / BBQ, including a great size fridge freezer with cold water and ice, very good air-conditioning. and comfy beds! I originally wondered if the number of levels might be tedious, but it was absolutely no problem and it was good to be able to spread out outside and come back together for drinks etc
There is an excellent information folder in the house and we would have missed some of the bars/shops without the guide as there are many little streets and some places do not have noticeable signs ( the locals all know where they are!!)
We had a great night stargazing from the 'tower' - such clear skies; some excellent meals - particularly at 'Enara'; lovely coffees in the village; good gin and tonics in various bars;a great day visit to Ronda; and a really, really relaxed time. We'd thoroughly recommend it, if you don't like being a 'processed tourist'!
