Frequently Asked Questions

  • There is parking outside the Molino that works on a first come first served basis.  If there is no space, you can park elsewhere on the road and the most you will have to walk is 1 minute.  Larger cars or people carriers can also park on the lower road at the entrance of the village, if you are worried about tackling the roads/inclines!  We are always on hand if you need some advice on arrival.

  • More narrow than a city but not actually as narrow as you would expect, as we no longer have designated pavements and the roads are widened.  Don’t worry, it is safe! It is one way and people drive with care and consideration.


  • Yes, the nearest shop is a 2 minute walk and the nearest restaurant even closer!  We are centrally located so many people find they don’t touch their car very often whilst staying with us.

  • The nearest beach is 25 mins away in Sabinillas.  Sotogrande is 35 mins away and Estepona the same in the other direction.

  • Gibraltar is 45 mins away and Malaga 1 hour 20 minutes.

  • We always recommend a car as it is far cheaper than taxis and public transport is scant in the area.  It also offers the ultimate flexibility to explore the area and its many riches.

  • We offer returnees 5% and a complimentary bottle of cava.  Seasonal offers are sometimes available - please enquire directly.

  • We have a vast number of return visitors who have children.  We love having families stay with us and supply cots, high chairs, baby baths and also eating utensils for little ones.  We also have a huge selection of games and DVD’s.  There is plenty to keep children busy - our pool, the local town pool (which is very well maintained and large), local horse riding, walks, visits to the beach, activities such as canyoning close to Ronda and lots more!  Older children can enjoy the freedom of the village and the many cafes on offer locally.

  • Yes, but not much!  There is a skeleton bus service to Ronda from the village (near the gas station) and you can drop into Estacion de Gaucin to take the train.  You will need to check www.renfe.es for more information and timetables as these change seasonally. Please note Estacion is 11Km from the village of Gaucin.

  • Within Gaucin there are many shops, a delicatessen and a medium size supermarket Should you wish to do a big shop on the way up to Gaucin, the best place to stop is in Manilva/Sabinillaa.  There are 4 large supermarkets to choose from.

  • Many close for a holiday after a busy summer! This date is never set in stone and we would suggest calling in advance to check.  However, there are many eateries and you will find somewhere open at any given time.

  • Yes there is on the Easter weekend.  We would suggest arriving before the events as the village is closed to traffic for the whole of Easter Sunday, or leaving early that morning should you wish to miss it.
