Holidays in El Gastor

Holidays in El Gastor capture all the gorgeous ingredients of everything that is so typically rural Spain. Cue fields filled with swaying sunflower heads. Earthy-coloured hills dotted with greenery. And sugar-cube whitewashed houses with terracotta topped roofs. Spend your days on El Gastor holidays stepping in time to the soothing pace of the locals and getting to know this authentic mountain village. Pop your head in and out of the Spanish shops that lace the tangle of streets. Tuck into local specialities in one of the atmospheric family-run restaurants or tapas bars. Or pull on your walking boots and get up close and personal to the captivating countryside that surrounds you.

Don't just do as the locals do on summer holidays to El Gastor – live as the locals do. Sitting splendidly at the bottom of a mountain track is Le Paradis, a gorgeous stone-built villa that screams secluded bliss. Beamed ceilings, tiled floors and an exotic Moorish-style decor all add to its charm, but it's the huge pool with its to-die-for views that's the piece de resistance. Or for luxury with a capital 'L', La Casa Grande with its minaret-style tower, palatial patio and mosaic fountain will really beguile you.

Wherever you decide to unpack your suitcase on holidays to El Gastor, this traditional countryside treasure is one place you'll want to keep firmly under your sunhat.
