Yunquera is a largish (3,000 people), attractive full-service pueblo blanco located between El Burgo and Alozaina on the stunningly scenic Malaga – Ronda road. The route, by the way, is truly beautiful but from El Burgo to Ronda it is not suitable for anyone in a hurry! A real mountain road!
Improvements to the road in recent years ensure that the drive in the opposite direction to Alozaina and onto Coin is not just pretty but very easy and quick.
Yunguera at 680 meters above sea-level nestles below the heights of the Serranía de Ronda and the Hoya de Málaga mountain ranges with the surrounding peaks rising to over 1500m. The peaks are likely to be snow covered for several weeks per year which makes the setting particularly beautiful.
In the past the village was very isolated which meant that it kept its real rural charm whilst offering every facility that the population needed from banks to restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. In more recent times discerning holidaymakers and home buyers have found their way to this area to enjoy not only the stunning scenery but the traditional, relaxed lifestyle.
The past isolation of Yunquera has meant that property prices never reached the levels seen in better known and more accessible locations, which means there are still bargains to be had. Moreover recent major improvements in local infrastructure, particularly roads, means that there is considerable scope for capital appreciation when the market gets back to normal. And in the meanwhile just enjoy living in a wonderful location.
Yunquera is 36 kms from Ronda, 63 kms from Malaga and it’s airport and just 17 kms from Coin!
