About Gringo Gulch

Gringo Gulch is the tiny historic hill on the north bank of the Río Cuale above the cathedral, where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton lived in the 1960s and Casa Kimberly still stands, now a hotel. A handful of villas and small condo buildings on steep cobblestone lanes with river and bay views, a few minutes' walk down to the Malecón or across the bridge to the Romantic Zone.

Listings are rare and prized. Access is on foot up steps and narrow lanes, parking is at the bottom of the hill, and older houses want an engineering look at walls and roofs before you buy.
