The Andalucia / Malaga Province region

Only a short drive away from the vibrant lifestyle of the Costa del Sol coast brings you to the peace and spectacular scenery of a more traditional Spain and its more leisurely way of life, where dazzling white-washed villages cling to the hillsides and summits and the sights and scenery will enchant you throughout the year.

At the eastern end of The Costa del Sol, between Malaga and Nerja and up in the hills behind lies the Axarquia region with its sub-tropical temperatures with a reputation for the best climate in Europe. Steeped in history having been ruled by both the Romans and the Moors, it has much to offer for exploration and sense-of-place from the plethora of traditional villages to the magical formations within the Nerja caves.

Malaga itself has a beautiful historical centre, with very good shopping, while Antequera and Granada are within exploring range.

The Canillas de Aceituno area

Although only 20 minutes beautiful driving from the coast into the foothills of the Sierra Tejeda National Park, Canillas de Aceituno is a world apart from the coastal 'buzz'. It retains all the sights, sounds, scents and spirit of traditional Andalucian life - potted flowers decorate the narrow side-streets, mules and goats pass by studiously ignoring humanity, the fish-delivery man calls out his wares, the village ladies practice their graceful flamenco in the evening cool. From here you can walk, paint, photograph, bird-watch, picnic, listen to the cicadas, drink the local wine, sample the village speciality - the famous fennel-scented 'morcilla' sausage, in whose honour there is a village fiesta in April. Or simply enjoy the tranquility and comfort of Casa Convento. Choose your preferred venue - full-on rooftop sun, lunch-with-a view in the shade of the third-floor terrace, or salute the sunset with a cold glass of 'fino' while the shrilling young house martins put on a spectacular flying display for you.

The main 4-day village festival is in August when the whole population turns out in style; - in fact, there are many other village fiestas during the summer months, and local town/village markets every day of the week year round. Velez-Malaga is well worth exploring, especially its older, higher streets, and nearer the coast there is a Water Park, Go-karting, 2 golf courses, masses of chiringuitos (beach bars usually with sun loungers) and a large shopping centre/supermarket, El Ingenio. However, do please try out your Spanish in the village's fascinating little shops and on the streets, where everyone greets each other, friend or stranger.

“Fantastic house in a spectacular location” Casa Convento is a wonderful home in a stunning location. It is luxurious, spacious and comfortable, with every detail well thought out. The views are spectacular, in one direction you can see the sea, in the other the mountains. The village has every amenity you could wish for, and there is plenty of sightseeing available in the area. We cannot recommend this fantastic property highly enough!

“Summer sun in Spain, in a stunning area” We (2 adults & 2 children - older) spent a very relaxing week in this villa. The villa is really well designed and has everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the balcony with built in barbecue - gorgeous view from here across the village and the mountain ranges - and the dumb waiter to bring shopping up from the ground floor. Be wary of using appliances such as the air conditioning. The villa was well maintained and clean, and managed by a very friendly couple a few doors down. The owner was very helpful and friendly and provided lots of information and good customer service. The area is fantastic - some amazing views from the balcony - and we did a lot of sightseeing (car is a must), to Granada, Tangier, Gibraltor and some lovely Spanish towns (Frigiliana etc) nearby, as well as a couple of trips to the beach, and a walk to the national park. There really is a lot to offer in this area and one week was way too short, but knowing now how comfortable and well appointed the villa is, we would not hesitate to stay longer if we re-visited. We enjoyed a delicious meal out at The Garden restaurant in Frigiliana and found a fantastic ice-cream place in Nerja. Also some great bakeries in Torre del Mar. We have already recommended the villa to friends.
