About the area

Around a 2 and a half hour flight from the UK into Malaga and then less than an hours drive, takes you to the Axarquia region of Andalucia in Southern Spain. The area is known for its stunning whitewashed villages – charming traditional havens with narrow winding streets, surrounded by mountains and unspoiled countryside. There are olive trees and vineyards a plenty here, and it’s just a short drive from the beach, so it’s no wonder that the region is becoming increasingly well known.
