About the area

Andalucia is the most incredibly diverse region encompassing the historic cities of Seville, Ronda, Malaga, Cordoba and Granada, the famous whitewashed villages, and mile after mile of beautiful beaches, rural inland countryside and international resorts.

Riogordo is a genuine Spanish town situated in the Axarquia region of Andalucia. During the 19th century, the proximity of the village to the mountains made it a center of banditry. It is an area dedicated to olive and almond farming, also orange and lemon orchards and vineyards, a wonderful location for enjoying walking, cycling and picnics. The Riogordeños offer the added bonus of natural hospitality.
