I haven't read 100 Years of Solitude, but assuming it's like the Gabriel García Márquez I have read (No One Writes To The Colonel, Leaf Storm and Chronicle Of A Death Foretold), I wouldn't consider that fantasy. It's magical realism and it's a different thing. The supernatural events are incidental to the story and are usually a sort of metaphor.
Magical realism often overlaps with fantasy. 100 Years of Solitude features an actual flying carpet.
