Periana area
Periana is situated 58 kilometres from Malaga and 28 kilometres from the coast at Torre del Mar, at an altitude of 547 metres.slopping down giving great vistes of the lake & mountains. It lies within the area of Axarquia (county) on the scenic route of Olive Oil and Mountains, and has a population of 3,500.
The village is famed for its peaches and olives, which you will see as you, drive up to Periana and the surrounding fields of this area. During the summer a peach festival is held also there are several fiestas including flamenco music, which is pure Andalucian, do not be surprised if you come across impromptu singers in local bars a very refreshing experience.
During festivals all the cafes and bars spill over in the streets and the main street is closed to traffic, normally a children's fair area and stalls are scattered along the streets and festive lights with a firework display normaly at midnight, so no early bedtimes on these days.Also many of the hamlets and villages hold fiestes throughout the year with there own speciality products ie., cherries,olive oil and arts and crafts.
Periana is very much a farming village , slow relaxed nothing is done in a rush
