The village is dominated by the historical Castillo del Aguila and provides a perfect base for exploring the “pueblos blancos” of Andalusia. The surrounding landscape, part of the Los Alcornocales National Park, boasts diverse flora and fauna, including oaks, chestnuts, almonds, fruit trees, and a rich array of wildflowers.
Steeped in history, Gaucín has been shaped by Iberians, Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and Muslims, each leaving a mark on its cultural and architectural heritage. The village celebrates its vibrant past and present through numerous festivals, including a unique Easter celebration, a lively carnival, a cultural week in late July, and the annual feria in early August.
