An Excursion to the Genal River and Genalguacil

Genalguacil, the village of art in the Genal valley

Today I had the pleasure of journeying to the Genal Valley, specifically along the Ronda-Algeciras road until the turn off for Jubrique, and then towards the Genal river to wet my feet, followed by a stroll around Genalguacil admiring the art and relaxing in a local bar with a cold one, before returning to Ronda.

Iglesia de Nuestro Padre Jesús Ronda

May 1, 2014 by Clive Muir

Originally built at the end of the 15th century and beginning of the 16th century the church was dedicated to Santa Cecilia who at the time of the reconquest was enjoying a great deal of popularity as the patron saint of musicians and churches.

The tower and entrance of Padre Jesús is gothic having been part of the original church, the remainder is renaissance period.
