Welcome to La Cimada

La Cimada is a very small and peaceful pueblo in an outlaying area of Ronda - Spain.

This website has come about because we moved here to live in La Cimada, from a neighbouring village and could find no information on the internet about the history, traditions or anything else refering to La Cimada to be honest!

So here we are at the beginning of October 2008 and we are going to try to provide that information for the benefit of others and, we hope, provide a community web presence for this extremely small village that is La Cimada.

La Cimada is situated about 10 kilometres outside of Ronda in the mountains of Southern Spain. it is the Malaga region and is a part of the Inland Costa del Sol.  Quite soon we will be able to tell you the footprint area size and population but for now, I will just have to say that it is small and I doubt there are more than 200 people living here.

It is a rural location with fantastic scenery and the people are friendly, (those that we have actually seen).  There is a small village shop operating out of the front room of a house owned by a woman called Maria.  At about 9.30 in the evenings it turns into a bar!  I should add here that it is... erm... a MEN ONLY bar!  But that is changing gradually.  That's it, the only retail business in the place as far as we know.

La Cimada appears to be mainly reliant upon agriculture for a living but I suspect that the bulk of the working population travel into Ronda or to the coast every day to work.  This would explain why the village is so empty during the day and 10 cars appear each evening.  This is further swollen at the weekend by the townies who have weekend properties here.

So stay tuned in and come back to visit us often as we investigate and report what we have found out about La Cimada.  We will also be adding plenty of pages over the next few weeks with other content including a forum and photo album.  If you know La Cimada and can give us any information, snippets, rumours or gossip then... please do so!

That's it for now from the 'Ex Guiri' in La Cimada
