We suggest renting your ANDALUCIA VILLAS in the region of Axarquia on the easternmost section of the Costa del Sol, next to Malaga the capital of the Costa. Axarquia is easy to access with Malaga’s airport and sea port close by, counted among the busiest in Spain. If you are in the market for something beyond sun, sea and sand then you are in an excellent location for history, culture and delicious cuisine. Like a lot of southern Spain, legends abound here especially in the form of mountain bandits reported by locals to still exists around Venta de Alfarnate, an area you will pass by on the way inland so do watch out. There are a great number of things to do in this beautiful area such as walking the miles of well-marked trails through the mountains and, if the mood strikes you, there is hang-gliding, water skiing, windsurfing or scuba-diving available. If you are searching for a place to play golf, some of the best championship golf courses are scattered throughout the area. If your aim is to practice rural tourism the best place to start is by taking a tour of the Route of the Olive Oil. While on this journey you will come in contact with huge millstones and giant vats used centuries long ago: they will give you some idea of how old this process of making oil actually is. This olive oil formed the basis of the Mediterranean diet we know today. During your journey you will come across the Vinuela reservoir with its program of activities and at the same time you can enjoy the natural rural surrounding. If you are a history enthusiast this place is a paradise rich in history and archaeological remains including Cerro Capellania, a site from the Neolithic period called El Fuerte en Periana and a Roman Necropolis dedicated to Santa Ana. In Vilo there are remains of Moorish baths, all of which gives you an idea of not only the culture developed here but the history that accompanied it. Then there is the village of Colmenar and its shrine to Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria. This is only enhances by the typically Moorish village with its whitewashed houses. When on a day out from your ANDALUCIA VILLAS, take a look at the place where bandits once frequented. You will pass there on the way in and there is an eatery dating back to 1690 during the bandit period which is still in operation. Today though the restaurant is a calm and peaceful place with romantic surroundings including some of the best food anywhere around so if you are in the area stop by and have a sample.
