Guaro, well know for its Luna Mora festival, is situated on the road between Marbella (15km) and Alhaurin El Grande and Coin.
It is 50km from Malaga and the road links the Costa del Sol with the Ronda Mountains.
It is the entrance to the Nature Park of the Sierra de las Nieves Mountains, and the area has been named by UNESCO as a Biospheric Reserve.
Guaro itself is located in the stunning Guadalhorce Valley and is built on the side of a steep hill, its' narrow and winding streets rising and falling with the mountainous terrain they are built on.
The two biggest events in Guaro's festive calender are the August Feria and the Luna Mora Festival which takes place on the second and third weeks in September.During the 'Luna Mora' the streets turn into medieval Moorish bazaars. While Andalucian and Arabic music is played in the streets, belly dancers perform and everybody tastes the best of the local produce available.
Guaro becomes especially pretty by night when thousands of candles light up the streets.
