Located in the heart of Cádiz, the village of Algar, formerly known as Santa María de Guadalupe del Algar, spans 27 square kilometres and houses a community of just over 1,500 residents. Situated 87 kilometres from Cádiz and nestled at an elevation of 212 metres, this charming town’s main industries today include agriculture, livestock, leather craftsmanship, woodworking, and rural tourism.

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.
