One-off feature |
|
| |
This beautifully converted house lies in a group of old cottages in a setting of olive orchards overlooking a small valley about 5km from Frigiliana. It is on the edge of the wild national park of the Sierras Tejeda – not remote, but peaceful and romantic in simple countryside and within easy reach of wild and unspoiled nature. The setting is spectacular, and the location magic. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|

Lovely walks are to be made throughout the surrounding countryside, full of interest for birdwatchers, botanists and artists. The pueblos blancos of Frigiliana, Cómpeta, and Torrox form the Ruta de Vinos of Axarquia. Nerja, on the seaside below Frigiliana, is a 10 minute drive downhill. Although touristic, when inside its narrow streets Nerja has charm - and a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops and cafés. The Cuevas de Nerja, and the renowned Balcon de Europa must both be visited. There are several popular beaches at Nerja which are uncrowded, and many delightful smaller beaches down tracks further to the east. Tennis can be played in Nerja and horseriding is available in the valleys around Frigiliana. Golf, sailing, hang-paragliding, scuba diving, mountain biking, petanque are all enjoyed locally. Skiing nearby in Sierra Nevada. The great historical cities of Granada, Córdoba, Málaga, Ronda and Sevilla with culture, colour, style and buzz, are within touring reach. |

Further Details |
Frigiliana is an ancient and historic whitewashed mountain village, pueblo blanco, of exceptional beauty and charm, 60 kms east of Málaga and 6kms into the lower slopes of the Sierra Almijara mountain range behind Nerja. Built into the steep hillside on Moorish foundations, the old cobbled streets, so narrow as to restrict the passage of traffic, are lined with pretty flower-filled windows, alleys and doorways. Frigiliana has won several awards as the prettiest village in Andalucía. It is a working village whose livelihood is based on the local agriculture. Village life is simple yet well catered for with a local baker, fishmonger, butcher, pharmacy, tobacconist, and wine-merchant as well as several small general grocers and craft shops. The local bank has the essential cash machine. Numerous bars and restaurants in the village and the nearby countryside serve good, unpretentious local food.
