Gualchos, with its privileged viewpoint over the Mediterranean is an idyllic Andalucian mountain village in the Contraviesa Baja (the foothills of the Sierra Nevada) very close to the coast of Granada. At 350 m above sea level with sea & mountain views. The name Gualchos comes from the Arabic word "Guadichauz" which means hidden river.

From the Eastern part of the village one can see the Sierra Nevada (with its highest mountain Mulhacen 3.482 m) which is covered with snow for 6/7 months a year.

Gualchos offers you all you need for an pleasant holiday. The village has two bars & a supermarket. Nearby there is a Bar/Restaurant with a terrace which serves the local cuisine. Fresh fish is on sale five times a week from 10 o'clock to midday in the village square. Bread can be bought fresh from the baker's or from a van which tours the village streets at midday.

Apart from a quiet stay in the village and environs, there are enjoyable walks to be had or interesting excursions to be made daily by car.
