The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
Benamargosa is a typical white washed Andalucian village just 10 miles (16km) from the resort of Torre Del Mar and only 38 miles (48km) from Malaga airport.
The village is set in a valley of orange, lemon and avocado trees by the side of the river of the same name, and although only having a population of about 1500, has everything to make a holiday in the "Real Spain." Within a short distance are the hilltop villages of Cutar and Comares (which also has its own pool). Panoramas of the striking landscape can be seen from these viewpoints of the Sierras down to the Costa del Sol. A few kilometers inland finds Lake Vinuela, where there is fishing and sailing. The villages around the lake - Vinuela, Alcaucin, and Periana - are also worth exploring, and there are breathtaking drives into the sierras which reach over 2000m (6000 feet).
Velez Malaga / Benamargosa area
The Arabian fortress town of Velez-Malaga, a short distance away, is steeped in tradition and has a bustling shopping area.
Not too far away along the coast is the resort of Nerja, with its famous caves and "Balcon de Europa", and the historic hillside village of Frigiliana with spectacular views back down to the sea.
During Easter the village has a festival Semana Santa and a larger procession with floats is held in Velez Malaga.
There are many festivals throughout the year.
How to get there
Fly to Malaga airport then hire a car and drive towards Torre Del Mar / Nerja on the N340, the village is approximately 40 minutes from Malaga airport on a very straight forward motorway.
Benamargosa is only 20 minutes inland from the nearest beach resort of Torre Del Mar. The nearest large town is Velez Malaga. Lake Vinuela is a 15 minute drive from the village. Nerja which is a lovely old town is 25 minutes away. All local beaches can be reached within 20 minutes.

Guestbook
We had a lovely time and have actually felt that we have experienced some true aspects of rural Spain, as we wanted - Mr & Mrs Wilks.
We have had a great week, the weathers been brilliant, we loved the house and the friendly village people. All in all a great holiday. Mr Giles.
The house was wonderful, the village people were very friendly and the swimming pool was great for the children. Will definitely return next year. Mrs Saunders & family.
We found Casa Azul so different from ordinary holiday apartments, the accommodation was lovely and spacious and, with all the pictures and ornaments, was really like living in someone's home. What also made it so enjoyable for us was the fact that it is located in such a friendly village where everyone says "Ola" when you meet in the street. We had a wonderful stay - thank you. Malcolm & Margarett.
Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home, everything was fantastic, the house, village, people and especially the weather. We both had such a good time that we would hope to return next year. Regards Brian & Rosemary Scotland.
I must say the house lived up to expectations, very well equipped, nice comfortable furniture, very spacious and within walking of all amenities. A very friendly neighborhood. Would like to return again soon. Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong Belgium.
We had a lovely time in Benamargosa and your house was perfect! So spacious - a lot of thought has gone into everything and i'm sure we will be returning there! Isabel & Ray
