Area information:
Shops the finca is literally half-way between two towns (below) which take between 20-30 mins by car , there's nothing closer, you're really in rural Spain!
Cartama - A busy, thriving and rapidly expanding town. There are many small shops, but no big supermarkets.
Very little sign of tourism, although there are a couple of British pubs and a "Paper Shop" selling UK papers.
There are quite a lot of expatriates in the area, but it is predominantly Spanish. There is a large market on Sunday mornings (when some of the other shops are open too), and is a great place to have something to eat in the evening.
There are lots of open air tables - as the Spanish will spend the whole evening at the table, lots of tables are required or you'd never get a seat!
You can have a huge Brochetta de Pollo (Chicken Brochette) at one place (who also serves chilled Rioja!) and then go to an helader?a for your ice-cream sundae. It's great to just sit and watch the Spanish life in the evening, they love to be out in the evening to see and be seen.
also Alora: A beautiful pueblo blanco (white village) at the top of the Guadalhorce Valley.
Lots of little shops, but also a decent supermarket to stock up in.
It is built on three hills, one of which is dominated by the ancient Moorish castle - some parts of which have been dated back to Phoenician times, possibly some of the oldest remains in Europe.
The cemetery gives wonderful views back down the valley, and is a place of genuine peace.
The town itself centres on two squares, the higher containing an impressive fountain and the lower the main church.
The market is on Monday morning.
Along the sides of the valley are many fincas. And as always, the whole town is surrounded by spectacular views in all directions.
A few kilometers north of the town is El Chorro and the Embalsas de Guadalhorce, which are massive man made reservoirs, easily visible as you approach Malaga by air.
This is a National Park setting, and there is plenty of opportunity for walking and bird watching, but mostly, you'll just want to gaze in awe at the landscape!
You can swim in the lakes too ? if there?s any water left in them!
