Jimena de la Frontera is a picturesque town that rises beneath its historic castle on the slopes of San Cristóbal Hill, surrounded by lush cork oak forests, gall oaks, and riverbanks.
The Hozgarganta River, both abundant and modest in flow, once powered one of the earliest industrial mills in Andalusia, alongside numerous flour mills, some of which are still preserved today.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
