Home description
The villa is situated in the mountains (Sierra Tejada) that run up to 2000mtrs. The coast with frizzling towns is only 20minutes away, but in your garden you will enjoy the quiet 'campo', with only a mule making it's typical sound in the distance. The house is built at the end of a historical cattle road, the last 1,5kms are not paved, but well accessible.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
This sun-soaked stretch of the Spanish coastline in the Province of Malaga, bordering on the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Granada is steeped in historic, artistic and natural heritage. Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra de Tejeda under the benign gaze of Mount Maroma the many white villages have been influenced and shaped by their Moorish past. The Cortijo is set amongst a network of Roman roads, which criss-cross this area of rural Spain allowing you to feel part of its history. Discover the magic of the Alhambra in Granada, visit the sensual and faintly decadent city of Seville, gaze into the stunning gorge at Ronda, or look in on the world famous rock apes of Gibraltar.
Velez Malaga / Arenas area
The area of Arenas village is home to the densest population of chameleons in Europe and is the mascot of the village. The village church still has its minaret from Moorish times and the ruins of the Castle of Bentomiz, which was one of the last to fall when the Christians invaded, can be seen from the villa. The village itself is a meadering maze of streets which still retains the magic and atmosphere of old Spain. The residents are warm and friendly and ever ready to offer help or advice.
The villa is within walking distance of the village which offers a bank with cashpoint, a supermarket, a chemist (24hours), numerous shops, bars, an internet facility, various bars, a local Bistro with excellent food and a pizzeria which has a take a away/delivery service, also a small local market on Wednesday. There is also a bus service to and from Velez Malaga on a daily basis.
