Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
The Serrania de Ronda is one of the most beautiful parts of Andalusia: white villages on hillsides, the Genal valley, and Ronda itself with its famous gorge nearby. Malaga's airport is about an hour and a half away.
The village integration model is the reason to choose this over a rural house with wifi. Spain's interior is emptying, and projects that connect remote workers to village life do something different from a retreat that happens to be rural.
A 5.0 across 105 reviews is very hard to achieve, and it is the single best indicator in this listing.
