The Andalucia / Malaga Province region


This area of the Costa del Sol must be one of the most beautiful. Slightly cooler in the summer months than the coastal resorts, it benefits from a slight mountain breeze, very refreshing when it is 30 degrees plus in the sun. There is beautiful mountain scenery everywhere and tiny whitewashed villages, very Spanish, with locals farming their olive trees and ploughing fields with horse-drawn ploughs. This is the real Spain. Yet the coast is just down the mountain, about 25 minute drive away. You have Spanish resorts like Torre del Mar with its huge beach and beach front bars selling freshly grilled sardines and more British style resorts (but still classy) like Nerja with its selection of beaches - Burriana being the best. Torremolinos and Benalamedena are an hour's drive away.
The Competa / Archez area
Our villa is set 10 minutes walk from Archez village, famous for its XV century Mudejar tower. It is one of the most beautiful little white washed villages of Andalucia. The village has 400 inhabitants, but several places to eat and drink, all within walking distance of the house. Famous for its wine made from raisins, avocados and almonds, all of which can be bought in a local shop, as well as eggs, bread, fruit, cheese and ham - everything you need for a picnic at one of the local beauty spots. The local bodega sells Archez wine very cheaply, and you can pop in for a tasting. Visit Competa for shopping, or tour the other white washed villages for gentle strolls and tapas on the squares. There are Roman bridges to cross, rivers to wade in, goat paths to follow and mountains to climb. If you crave activity go down to the coast for the aquapark, boat rental, and other beach activities. If its raining then visit Nerja's famous caves or pop into the shopping centre near Velez Malaga for some leather goods, and labels like Mango and Zara, much cheaper than at home.
