Carratraca is located just off the main A357 road to Campillos around 14 kilometers past
Alora. Cattatraca is a small village with a population of less than 1000 people. Most visitors use the area as a base to explore the stunning surrounding countryside, the
Ardales lakes and El Chorro,
El Torcal nature reserve and the historic towns of
Ronda and
Antequera. In the centre is a small square with a few shops and bars and narrow winding streets lead off in all directions some of which is just wide enough to drive through by car. An historic bullring is also located here though it is now used for local events, concerts and fiestas.
Carratraca is famous for its spa at Thermas de Carratraca and offers health benefits for a variety of ailments that people swear by (
