Juzcar, Malaga

The municipality of Juzcar is a long and narrow strip of territory that adjoins the municipality of Ronda to the north, and in the south descends to Estepona and Benahavis. Its elongated shape allows for an enormous variety of scenery formed by very high peaks (Benamahoma, El Castillejo, Jardon and Jarastepar, the last of these being the highest in the area at 1,425 metres), areas with quintessentially Mediterranean vegetation, and last of all, dense and unusually lush pine forests.

It is situated in the upper Genal region of the Ronda highlands. The village sits at more than 620 metres above sea level and is 22 kilometres from Ronda and 113 from the provincial capital. It's area is 34 km² & it's population is a little over 200.

Getting there:

Whether you leave from the Costa del Sol or from Ronda you must take the A-376 road. In the former case, get onto this road from the AP-7 or N-340 expressway at San Pedro de Alcantara. About ten kilometres before getting to Ronda turn to the left onto the MA-525, and you will arrive at Juzcar after passing through Cartajima. If you leave from Ronda, take the aforementioned A-376 and likewise the MA-525, which passes through Cartajima and Juzcar.
