For those travellers looking for an experience off the traditional tourist track, Molino del Carmen, a refurbished Olive Mill, offers a peaceful, elegant retreat. Guests enjoy calm, classically styled self-catering accommodation in spacious apartments, amidst the bougainvillea-decked charm of the white mountain village of Gaucín. Positioned overlooking the quiet cobbled streets, Molino del Carmen is privileged to offer its visitors the most awe-inspiring views - across the mountains to Gibraltar and over the sea to North Africa.

"It was agreed that we three should go together to the Sierra de Gaucín, where I was to leave my companions and go on to Gibraltar in the guise of a dealer in fruit.

(Don José on his mission to find Carmen and persuade her to return to the band of smugglers.)
