It is vibrant and benefits by being close to the paragliding launch and landing areas being at the entrance to the Sierra de Líjar mountain, a typical drive up to the first launch is around 40 minutes.

The picturesque Pueblo of Algodonales is at the entrance to the Sierra de Lijar rural park in the province of Cadiz Andalucia. This can be the start of your many adventures. The park and mountain of Lijar are most famous for its paragliding activities where, on most days you will see either paragliders or hang gliders soaring along and above the mountain. Initially this was our main reason for visiting and eventually settling in the area. We have lived in the village for a number of years and soon realised the area had a lot more to offer than the flying, our other interests are mountain cycling, utilising the many mountain bike trails, cycling along the quiet trails and country lanes.​
The population of the pueblo is around 4000, it can be less mid week, as there is little work for the villagers, they generally work in the cities or on the coast therefore the village in the main is quiet especially mid week. We live on a small farm on the outskirts of Algodonales where we have evening barbecues with our guests.
The amenities are good, we have supermarkets many grocery stores, breadshops which will make sandwiches up on request (Bocadillo). The shops opening hours are reasonable, from early in the morning around 09:00 to past 20:00 in the evening, however they shut for siestas (this is Spain) around 14:00 and opens up again around 17:00. Some shops in general also opens bank holidays for limited hours.
The drinking water for the village is spring water off the mountain and perfectly drinkable. For your convenience there are also a number of drinking fountains around the village if you need to top up your water bottles.
