It is the best meeting point for the trip to the Ronda Mountains and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Andalusia Tour ~ Cadiz (Region) The origins of the town of Jimena de Frontera go back a long way and it experienced prosperity during the Moorish period, especially as a frontier town of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada in the 14th and 15th centuries. The town's iconic landmark, the Moorish Castle, was built during that period. Together with the city walls and the cistern, it is known as the "Baths of the Moorish Queen" and constitutes a priceless architectural heritage. Other very attractive elements include the churches of La Misericordia and La Victoria, the Los Ángeles Shrine, the Royal Artillery Factory building, the cave paintings of the nearby Laja Alta caves, and a magnificent natural area - Los Alcornocales Nature Reserve - in which caves can be discovered. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
