The road meanders through low valleys planted with semi-tropical date palm and kiwi, chirimoya and avocado, mango and molasses, then the landscape becomes a gentle vista of rolling hills and almond, olive and lemon.Now the mountains appear, the Montes de Málaga, las Sierras de Jobo, Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara, which join to form a natural border around this diverse and very beautiful region. This is home to the famous Moscatel wine grape, which you will also see drying on the hillsides to make raisins. The historic capital is the castle city of Vélez-Málaga, an important crafts centre. North of Vélez and at the heart of the land lies the broad expanse of Lake Viñuela.
Living primarily from agriculture, the people of La Axarquía are easy-going and hospitable. The mountains provide a protective barrier from northern winds for the 31 white villages dotted around La Axarquía, which means the sunshine is warm even in winter. In summer the climate is pure Mediterranean.
You will find this to be a gentle, hilly country, sparcely populated. Local produce is plentiful and healthy; virgin olive oil is lavished on cooking without a second thought. Only water is precious, skilfully channelled to irrigate crops. By contrast, Sierras Tejeda and Almijara are Natural Parks with peaks that are snow-topped in winter. Walks here will take you by crystal clear waterfalls among tall pines. Holiday homes are found in lower countryside where the scents of flowering shrubs are intoxicating.
A leisurely drive takes us to the seaside resorts of Torre del Mar and Nerja. One can enjoy sand, sea and sun, Torre del Mar's Aquapark, jetskiing or go-carting, and beach restaurants, perhaps some nightlife, before returning to the comfort of a house in peaceful, unspoiled countryside. A different route through the small villages of Axarquía can leave one wondering whether time has jumped back a few hundred years. An old, sinewy landscape and all one sees are olive trees, raisins drying on huge oblong paseros, gorges and seemingly deserted settlements. One might almost expect to hear a cry and Moorish horsemen ride out to greet the newcomer...
Let’s get to know a Spanish region full of marvelous contrasts, situated to the South of Andalucia, in the Eastern part of Málaga. Let's get to know the Axarquia From the 2.000 metres of its peaks to the very Mediterranean Sea spread terraces of tropical crops possible thanks to its climate warm and mild.
Its mountains and valleys have been mute witnesses to the comings and goings of many civilisations, for ever since Prehistorical times this area has been coveted by man. A proof of this are the caves of Nerja and el Higueron and the remains from Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs which await us even in the humblest of the Axarquian villages.
We spoke of contrasts and none bigger than that existing between its modern and tourist coast full of possibilities for the visitor, and the charm of some villages threaded into two mountain ranges that are there to be discovered. Let's get to know the Axarquia.
