About Los Guájares
The valley of Los Guájares is a stunning landscape of dramatic limestone peaks covered by lush green
plantations of avocado trees, olive groves and pine forest.
plantations of avocado trees, olive groves and pine forest.
Among these peaks are nestled three
white-washed villages collectively known as 'Los
Guájares': Guájar Fondón, Guájar Faragüit and
Guájar Alto. These unspoilt mountain villages are
home to a collective population of approx. 2000
local inhabitants, supported by a thriving
agricultural economy.

Mass tourism has mercifully missed this valley and, in
its place, there are the first signs of more subtle
development supported by local town hall initiatives,
such as the widening and improvement of the main
access road to the villages and a project to protect
and conserve the historical buildings of the villages.

The local Spanish community is colourful, vibrant
and very friendly towards foreigner visitors. So
much so that, in the last 4-5 years, a small but
steadily growing number of foreign nationals
have chosen to live here permanently, enchanted
by this delightful unspoilt corner of 'real' Spain.
