About Canillas de Aceituno, Inland Andalucia

Nestled in the mountains below the Sierra Tejada National reserve, is the picturesque Andalucian village of Canillas de Aceituno, some 60 minutes from Malaga airport and 20 minutes from the coastal town of Torre de Mar. The village has a typically Moorish layout with narrow, winding streets of whitewashed houses, decorated with bougainvillea, jasmine and geraniums.

Owner's Tips...

As our villa is 2km from the village down quite a steep track a car is essential. The last 200m of the road is unmettaled. There is parking at the top of the drive.

In the village, are many small shops and bars, several restaurants and even a disco and views over the village to Lake Vinuela, the mountains and the sea.

The villa offers you the opportunity to explore both inland and coastal Andalucia. More restaurants can be found up in the mountains in Sedella or Alcaucin, by the lake in Vinuela in the typically Spanish town of Velez Malaga and at a 101 places on the coast in Torre del Mar and beyond. If you enjoy shopping, markets selling excellent fruit and veg, pottery, clothes, shoes etc can be found at Torre del Mar and Velez-Malaga on Thursday. Big supermarkets and a brand new shopping mall with trendy cafes and a 12-screen cinema complex, are to be found 15 mins away in Velez.

If you want a beach, then take your pick according to your needs swimming, fishing, body-boarding, kite surfing, snorkelling, diving, pedalo, jet ski, nudism. The coast is there for you to explore. Why not visit the quiet beaches of the Costa Tropical, down steep cliffs - all within 40 mins? Generally the majority of people on the beach is Spanish.

If you plan on walking, we have a collection of 'Wild Walks' booklets in the villa. If you like birdwatching there's plenty to see around the villa or go to Fuente de Las Piedras and see thousands of flamingos.

Visit the awsome caves at Nerja, walk to a local mill pool for a dip,or drive 10 mins to another pool in the Sierra Tejeda Nature Reserve. Play golf, go riding, go-carting or take the kids to the waterpark, all within 20 mins drive.

Granada and the magnificent Alhambra Palace, is well within reach. On the way, stop at the hot springs just outside the historic town of Alhama de Granada and then proceed to Lake Bermejeles wher you can swim or eat beside the lake. Alternatively, ifyou go by motorway, you can stop off to watch (and eat) trout at Rio Frio.

If you are lucky enough to be in Spain in July or August, you may catch the Horse Fair, funfair and food fair in Torre or the traditional village Fiestas in Alcaucin or Canillas. July also sees the International Festival at Nerja caves (ballet, opera, flamenco) and the International Jazz Festival in Almunecar. There are many other festivals throughout the year including spectacular Easter processions. You may also like to go on a dolphin ‘safari’ (book ahead), in Gibraltar or a diving course in Nerja or Herradura.

If you enjoy nature, photography, painting or writing, then the world is your oyster. If you just want to sit and relax, you can watch the local shepherds with their goats, and look onto the mountain-sides, covered with grape, almond , citrus and avacados; at night lie back and spot shooting stars.

All in all, if you want peace and tranquillity, with things to do close at hand this is the place for you!
