    I was there two years ago with a few boardsies.

    We didn't have the best weather (February 2010 floods) but I enjoyed it. The area is really nice and the village is very quiet. The owners are really nice too and beer is super cheap.

    I had a good time considering :

    - Torrential rain for a couple of days
    - I got sick mid week and spent the day in bed
    - My friend got bit by a gang of loose dogs while cycling past a farm, we ended up in the ER for a emergency shot.
    - Three of the people from the trip got sick with some kind of never ending vomiting bug after coming home that may or may not have been caused by the torrential rain.
    - On our rest day we went into Ronda, the town close to us and every shop was shut due to siesta... thank god, a coffee place was open and we had cake.
    - I was second last on the last day 14km HC cat hill TT

    We were very unlucky with the weather etc, but ... beer is super cheap ( or have I mentioned that already).

    I would love to go back and enjoy the area with the nice weather. They have a couple of very good guides semi-pros now as well to guide the better groups. At the time there was just the two owners.

    haven't been to that camp, but have done loads of cycling in andalucia, couln't recommend it enough... lovely place, people, roads and if you're into hills its pretty much always up or down, not a lot of flat
